If it's an underground installation, anyway.


For overhead installations, typically the power company handles everything up
to the rain head at the top of the service mast; everything from there onward,
including from the rain head to the meter, is the homeowner's responsibility.


That's only if you have the meter mounted at the top of the service mast.
