They did mine a few years ago, the gas meters used to all be in basements here, and they're putting them all outside. I guess they got tired of people not letting them in to read the meter. The inside part of the job was quick, just connect the new pipe from the outside meter to the inside pipe by where the old meter was. They installed the new meter sticking out into my driveway, so after they left I dug out the gravel fill and moved it over a foot so it's under the edge of my porch where the wife won't back into it. The new outside pipe is plastic with enough flex so I was able to move it over without doing any plumbing. The outside pipe was only a foot below grade. I convinced them not to break my new concrete driveway, the old pipe was right along the edge of it. I didn't have a grow in the basement at that time, but I don't think they would have noticed my Narnia grow even with the lights on. If you shut off the lights they probably won't know what your tent is unless they're growing too. NY recreational home-grows will be completely legal in 3 more months, and they're not harassing anybody here.
