This has the added benefits of shielding the conductor (although I doubt it would pass the backhoe test) as well as providing a convenient demarc (garden tap). Any string faults within the property to be the customer’s problem, although you could start a nice racket with a Special Plumbing Investigation “service”. <br /><br />There may be unfortunate seasonal DoS issues during hosepipe bans.
