Until today, the ICP API would return records for meter components that have been flagged as removed, yet the date field showing when the meter was actually removed was not in the result set. This had the potential to confuse API users into believing the meter remained installed and active when it was neither.
Such records are now being filtered out of the result set; all meter component records can reliably be assumed to pertain to currently active meters.

Interesting. What happens if an installation has no meters? I'm sure the EA tested that case, right? Or maybe the users of the API are meant to do the testing?
