A local business just built an addition on the rear of their building. I pick up supplies there on a weekly basis. I was there the other day, and I noticed they built the addition right up to the service entrance, and the large roof area will run right on top of the meter box. In fact they had to cut the roof back a few inches over that meter box, and although the rest of the roof has rain gutters, there is none at that place. While this is a box made to be used outdoors, this looks like an accident waiting to happen. Those boxes are made for a normal amount of rain running on them, but not a flood of water coming down what is probably 30 feet of roof. This is really none of my business, but seeing it makes me nervous. I almost want to point it out to them. At least they could put a piece of rain gutter there, even though it would only be about 16 inches long, at least the water would not pour right on the meter.
What do you think about this? (I might take a photo the next time I am over there.)
