So now the Porta Potty guys are installing our temp service. This is not photoshopped as these are installed in many areas

There is no way our local power companies would connect to that.
They have very detailed specifications for temp service supports and I have not seen and porta potties in those specs.

Apparently they have them in some areas of California according to a member at electricians talk.

The only place I have seen them is in San Francisco itself, because space is at an extreme premium there. That second photo is SF for sure, and came from the website of the company offering them. They state "California only", but I seriously doubt it would be allowed outside of SF proper.

I don't see anything 'wrong" with it.
It seems like something that would save space, time, and money, and does not compromise safety.

Our power companies problem with it would be it is not attached to the ground.
We can't hang a temp service from an office trailer either even if it has its wheels removed and is sitting on blocks.

Jraef. that makes sense. I am thinking that a long overhead-- as we have here at times- would pull the dang porta poty over. Makes sense that I also did not see an underground setup like we use here often

Maybe not, but it just feels wrong somehow.

Perhaps, a good way to get heat in the "john" for cold days, also!
