What is a meter spot? Does my meter have to be outdoors? At what height must the electric meter be installed?
A1
A meter spot is written documentation of current BWL construction standards intended to guide your installer through the new service installation or upgrade process. A meter spot will require a site visit by BWL personnel.
A2
The BWL requires the metering equipment for all Residential, Commercial, and Small Industrial Customers be located outdoors (on the Customer’s building or structure). The BWL must pre-approve the mounting of metering equipment indoors in those cases where there is no suitable outdoor location.
A3
The requirement is that the meter be between 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet from its centerline opening to the final surface grade.
