That is in fact an active service, and the broken pipe is the drain for the roof, but either way it looks like it is going right over the service duct. The transformers more then likely are pcb. You wouldn't be able to have a drop like this nowadays, but can this be grandfathered?

Can any of our utility folks answer this question:

If, as in Richard's case, I found an open vault and notified the POCO, I took it upon myself to close and try to secure the door(with the exisiting locks/hardware), would that be considered tampering with facilities?

I would find it hard to walk away after finding this without making sure it got secured.


Stupid should be painful.

mxslick,
That's a darned good point actually. [Linked Image]
I can see how doing a thing like that, could be mis-construed as tampering, but given the circumstances, a PoCo would have to be pretty silly to prosecute or even censure someone for locking up open, readily accessible live equipment.
Were it me on the PoCo end, I'd shout them a cold one!. [Linked Image]
BTW Richard, are them Primary terminals bare on the Trannies?. [Linked Image]

i blew the picture up, and it looks like they are insulated. The feeders to the pole are #8 solid. My boss gave the former owner a price for a new service, but I guess it was too much, and now it has new owners. I don't think they realize just what they have here.

Richard,
Probably a long shot, but have you got a copy of the orignal picture that I could re-post?.
