PLEASE take the cover off so we can see inside!!
I am SO curious to see if this is real. :confused:

[Raymond Wand]

Fresh juice anyone? :D

[Chris Weekly]

Great shot Ben in southwest usa.
Electricity on tap!

[Marshall Brown]

I suppose that this gives new meaning to current flow, but at least it couldn't be called a double tap.

Agreed! Really, really, really need to see a photo of that with the cover off!

Maybe that is a 'side tap' instead of a double tap?;)

[Richard Skalski]

That is an older style meter below it, it is designed to catch to overflow of electricity on the top produced by the paddle wheel generator they have hooked up to the river. When the lights are to bright, just crack the valve and the energy flows back to the grid. All about savings eh?;)

[Benjamin Thompson]

All right but you are going to be disappointed.

Well, it all makes sense now ... there was an open knock out and the previous inspection report stated that the open knock out needed to be closed up and sealed - and they had this hose bibb laying around with a bushing which just happened to be the right size for the hose bibb ... :)

[Matt Fellman]

Just write up a missing bonding clamp and wire to the plumbing and move on..... :)

[Rick Cantrell]

Hose bib is not functioning, have it repaired. ;)

[Jerry Peck]

No one mentioned the missing atmospheric vacuum breaker ... :)
