The cost would be prohibitive, if no 3-phase is in the area, they,in my case OE would have to install the three xfmrs, and special permission would have to be given as far as I know, residential doesnt have any 3-phase loads, any 240 volt equipment would not run as effieciently on 208 as on 240, ie water heaters, AC would have to be special, it just isnt practical to use 3-phase in residential.
As I said up the street from there is one home that has three xfmers and one 4-wire service going to the house, how they got it I havnt a clue, because it is very unusual.
