The utility usually detemines how much
'non-OCPD'ed' is available to the occupants.
We all are aware here, that a meter could be set, and seu could be literally wrapped around the building, and subject to the utilities rule on entrance.
The rationale, besides theft of service, that i was taught was that a responding emergency crew ( Firefighter, etc.) would be aware of the Main Disco's location.
Recently, a cul-de-sac development with meter banks has shown me direct UG entry , you need to shut the whole nieghborhood down, there is no external indication of the disco's presence.
pardon my digression...
