Are these remains of electricity meter's anti-tempering seal?












1















This is an electricity meter on top of an old Zinsco panel. The meter does not have anything else hanging that resembles me of anti-temper seal. So I am wondering - has anyone tampered with this electricity meter?



enter image description here



If it is anti-tampering device, then are there any fines against homeowner? Should I try to track down the person who did this?

          "Sure" - "You can assume yes" - However this does NOT mean someone tampered with it.



          Someone has not secured the meter with a new identifying marker that gives a power company or service person indication that no one has touched it since it was last secured.



          This doesn't mean it was tampered with, it means as I've noted, someone did not re-secure it.

            It depends on where you live, and what (if anything) they want to do about it. Basically, safety & theft are the concerns. If there is evidence of either & the power compnay or some official chooses to make an issue, they will investigate. But more than likely, they will re-tag it when around next. If you know nothing was done that wasn't supposed to be, you shouldn't need to worry.
