I recently did a service upgrade that involved replacing a pedestal meter socket. We scheduled an 8 am disconnect, which didn't happen until 11 am (our POCO isn't what it used to be). Around 4 when we were ready to connect, the POCO guy asks if I'm ready (Yes, I am).
However, instead of coming to crimp the lugs on the lines and install them in the meter socket, he's going to reconnect power to the lines. I yelled at him that I wasn't ready for THAT, since the lines were laying on the ground taped together. I can't believe that he didn't even look over to see if it was connected. This guy is an accident waiting to happen.
