utility company regulations in our area

"Clearance in front of and to the sides of meter sockets and metering equipment shall be maintained
per NEC Article 110.26 (30-inch width and 36 inches in front of the meter and extend from the
grade, floor, or platform to a height of 6.5 feet or the height of the equipment, whichever is greater). "

Would the measurement be made from the front of the enclosure or the front face of the meter?
I have seen the clearances violated consistently around here.
