Also very good reason for the meter can to be a type 3R enclosure, with drain holes in the corners of the bottom. Those holes are not there just because of coincidence of how the bottom is made, they intentionally do not seal them up so it will drain. Has anyone ever seen a type 12 meter enclosure? If there is such a thing it will not drain without someone putting a place in for it to drain.
Yes, for those who don't know it, they should read the description of NEMA 3R. Also brings to mind that, if you buy a Square D enclosure and enter it from the top, you need to remove the screws in the bottom, because the cans are dual listed and the draings are needed as kwired pointed out.
