I have a question for all of you. We are doing a new service on an existing building. The new service starts at a pedestal, with a meter/disconnect. The license i work with argued that you could run a three wire from the meter disconnect to the house, and i argued that it had to be a four wire, with a separate grounded conductor and EGC. I need some articles to back up my point, and was also wondering when this code changed. Thanks for the help.
 
2005 and before he is correct.

2008 Your correct.

In 2005 250.32(B)(2) would likely have allowed a 3 wire using the neutral as the grounding means.
