Hello LNP&S!
(or do We call you David? LNP?)
I once had to replace a service that had been ripped off the house by the sider and the Meterpan had been facing the ground for some time. The Meter itself was almost completely full of water. Neddless to say, I did not plug that meter back in when I was done! I called the utility and told them I was flat-connecting it and left it in their hands.
Happy New Year!
