Post a picture of your Fuse Box

Probably makes it easier to cut customers off for non payment. In the UK they need a warrant and police access to a property to cut power off (smart meters may change this)
Miyuki:
It is a thing here, and new installations are required to have even the meter and main breaker/switch accessible from the street.
It is considered a safety feature in case of fire
And of course, they will take meter if you are not playing.
Yes, here it goes from the pole to the house with underground cables. In my case, there are two boxes for two houses.
This is how it is done when the cable is in the ground.
The right side is for fuses and the left one is a pace for the meter and tariff signal receiver. The main breaker is already installed here.
It then goes to the house where is a distribution board.

At least they have a drain hole at the bottom, as good practice dictates. :D
