I got a call last week and after speaking with the lady I was thinking "There is no way what she is describing is happening!" Well guess what?This lot is on the side of a hill, and with all the rain/snow we've had I figured the cause is a break in the service entrance conduit that is allowing the conduit to act like a french drain.

Clean, cool electricity!

I'd call the POCO and let them know they may want to inspect for damage to the meter.
