Default mile high meter

What will the Utility say when they come to read this meter? Grade was lowered after inspection. 11'-6" grade to glass.

I think the power company would like it no higher than 6' 6" or something like that.

Call it.

Charles,

Was that the only meter in the neighborhood set at that height? Living in WA, could it have something to do with deep winter snow or perhaps a flood area?

Jeff,
After the Electrical was signed off, the grade was lowered to create an entrance to the basment under the meter.
