What did the drop look like? Were there two, or just one.

If the property is zoned for two or more dwelling units, I can understand seeing two meters. However, there should be only be one drop and the gutter should have been visible in this photo.

Rental?
Demand water heater?
Demand A/C system?

There are lots of potential reasons for this.

When we installed a Heat Pump years ago, the power company was installing second meters for the heating/cooling only for a discounted heat/cool rate.

Well, it can be done like that also. Just a parallel service any way you look at it. . .
