They painted the cables not covered by the conduit? ;)

When they installed the conduit and box, they failed to account for future building growth.

Ignoring the obvious problem with the conduit, how do you even open the access cover? The hole for that meter is an unauthorized modification, preventing the cover from opening normally. Should hinge upwards...

Meter base was probably just fine until POCO decided to use fancy new electronic remote meters. They really can't make a customer upgrade for the POCOs convenience and those new meters are a pain!!
