really do wpd allow the same
Western Power.
Not so far as I know.
In reality the ones I've met don't give a damn.
Talking to some the other day at a property and they asked me if I wanted the seal leaving off the head in case I needed the supply off again as there was no isolator.
I said to them that I thought this was 'not on' and they basically said its the meter seal they're more worried about and it didn't look like the elderly lady in the place looked like she was about to go on the rob.
They left the seal off and went on their way.
100% they'd deny all knowledge of that conversation if I was to 'go a bit wrong' and take the power out to the street (or worse) mind.
