Hello, and perhaps a local ordinance question: Often you see new
town/row house developments that look very nice from the front except
they put the electric meter right in front which, IMHO, detracts from
the view. We have "smart" meters in my neck of the woods. Thanks for
your time and comment. Sincerely,

code done for safety.

in the event of a fire or other emergeny the emergency responders need a quick easy way to cut the power / pull the meter


For OP it's local custom-as you state.

Wrong Bobby, it's for the convenience of the POCO. The FD WILL find the
meter if they need too.
