Backstory: There’s a house in our neighborhood that’s essentially abandoned. I could write a book on everything that led up to this, but suffice to say the guy has outstanding warrants and isn’t paying any bills. I haven’t seen him around since late last year.
Today I was out for a walk when a truck from the electric coop pulls into the drive. By the time I got close enough to see what he was doing, he was basically finished - putting a sealing ring back on the meter. From the street, it looked like the meter was out of its normal position, radially. The rectangle with the digits that is normally horizontal looked to be at an angle. So my question is - Is that a way to disconnect the power? Unplug the meter, rotate it so the stabs don’t engage, and seal it back up? Or was he doing something else such as simply replacing the meter?
Just my idle curiosity.
