      I’ve often wondered if anyone besides the utility workers have tried to use those plugs for anything lol! Thus far I’ve never seen anyone try to charge anything from them yet

      Not huge the plugs but even seems to have its own meter. And looks exactly like the one that’s our side my house. So makes me wonder how for a power meter and up getting mounted on a utility pole along with outdoor electric sockets as well.

      Maybe they split the Bill accept all the homeless that live in the area? Or the sockets are for the homeless and the meter is for the city to know how much was consumed at that intersection?

        Usually they put meters on poles when a nearby business requests lights on a pole. Maybe they also requested a outlet so they could clean the sidewalk with corded tools as well?
