They didn't require that you update to an exposed bonding point for other utilities at the service entrance?
They did not.
Not sure it matters but only my water line is within 10' of this meter and it's not on the same wall. It is around the corner.
My gas meter is 30' away and around a corner and my internet enters on the back of the house next to the phone wire.
I also don't have an exterior power disconnect mechanism, except breaking the seal and pulling the meter.
As unlucky as this was, I kinda got lucky. If the meter box type didn't have replacement parts available I would have had to get a new meter installed in front of the brick veneer, and lengthen (replace) the 40' long main feeder into my panel. I'm not sure who would have ultimately paid for that but it would be quite a bit more out of pocket.
Yeah I had all that done for about $4500 a couple of years ago. Lucky for me it was caused by a tree falling on the power line so insurance covered it.
