Here is an interesting transformer and vault. The vault has no means to lock. Inside is a pole transformer on a rotten pallet. Luckily the house next to it is being demolished and the transformer has to be relocated.
The piece of 12/3 UF did not enter the pit. It was coming out of the house going to a garden shed. The transformer from what I understand was there for quite sometime. Thank goodness it is finally be eliminated. It was a horrific site to say the least.
Kinda wish i had my own transformer in my backyard, lol, It could actually increase the home's value, sell it to someone that intends to bypass the meter for homegrow
