+Reprogramed: A meter exchange schedule is being set for the week of 10/3
+for this project. This exchange will be an over-the-air programmed
+conversion and not physical. If there are no issues with the
+exchange, we will forward a PTO letter in the next 1 to 2 days.
+Please let us know if you have any questions.
