Does the public utility's responsibility end at:

* the electric meter
* the main breaker in the electric panel box
* the individual branch circuit breakers in the panel box.


It is called the service point and typically that will be the crimps
where an overhead drop connects at the drip loop or at the street in
the case of a service lateral. You own the wire coming down the side
of the house and the meter socket but they own the meter and they have
common carrier power to seal the meter can.
