Meter utilized as disconnect

[ptonsparky]

If I was on a call and the meter main, meter socket or the Main Panel was arcing or sparking I would pull the meter and notify POCO

Sometimes those come apart as you pull the meter. Not what you want to happen while energized. The damage is done. Don't add to it.

I have a hot stick, it comes in handy.

I know you have some municipal POCOs there where I could see them having the legal authority to dish out fines, but for private POCOs they can threaten all they want but I don't think they have any authority to issue fines, unless it's specifically in the tariff.

We don’t need authority to issue fines.
We just pull the meter and leave you in the dark a couple of days
