The demarcation point between the utilities wires and the premise wiring
is not always the meter enclosure. That point is established by the
states Public Service Commission, Peoples Council, Public Utilities
Commission or a similar body. In many places the demarcation point for an
overhead residential service is the splices between the drop and the
service entry conductors. All repairs needed on the customers side of the
demarcation point is done by the customer or her/his agent.

Agreed. But, not true for all areas of the U.S, states,
counties/villages/municipalites, electrical companies and coops. See "But,
this seems to be avoided information by your post." which you deleted in
your reply. You, nor I, don't know what applies in reference to this
individual case.
