Yesterday I had to drive to a distant house to terminate the lateral conductors in a meter can. The power company dug the trench, attached their FNC to the riser I provided, stubbed the conductors into the can, and walked away. They refuse to terminate their end and install the meter until the electrician terminates the house side.
So on every single house that utility provides power to, they force the electrician to return to terminate three conductors, even though they terminate the handhole enclosure side.
I can think of no reasonable explanation for this. Anybody got a guess?
If I were so inclined to try to coax them into dropping this practice, how would I proceed?
