Actually,the water is not much more than 2" deep,(its all concrete)the service is quite live,and the truck bed full of iron was pushed into the j-box w/a loader.
The photo does not show it but there are HV lines above the area where the building housing the switchboard is, the crane is a little ways down from that area.
P.S. One must have pity on the PG&E meter readers,having to navigate the water and scrap metals.
