Hello, and perhaps a local ordinance question: Often you see new

except they put the electric meter right in front which, IMHO,
detracts from the view. We have "smart" meters in my neck of the

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.


Where I live finding the meter is as simple as looking at the wires.
