Contact the utility. If there is to be any fuss raised about "legality",

company provides the drop to the weather head (or meter panel, if the
line is buried). I doubt they will permit you to disconnect the drops
at the pole.

You seem to be referring to the same circuit as both high voltage and
low voltage, and have no clue who provides the wire. That suggests you
are not "people who actually know something."

Low voltage is 480v, high voltage is what is coming from the pole to
the transformers.

I have decided, indeed, not to mess with it, and not turn a good scrap
deal into a nightmare.
