I had to pay for every piece of my electrical equipment when I built my house. Every foot of wire from the power company’s pole, the underground conduit, the meter, the ground, the wiring, the entrance boxes, the breakers——which part of that do you think they have an “easement” on?
It sounds like it varies from community to community but when I built my garage our utility company supplied the primary to the box, along with the meter. Their easement extended across my property to the box for access to their meter.
Well, it may be different in different parts of the country but in many places the meter is the power company’s.
