The service entrance from the pole pig to your meter [and the meter] are 
the property of the utility, and they have an implied easement for it 
because you wanted electricity and pay your bill.  How they run it is 
their choice.  They might bury the lines for you, get your checkbook 
out.  We're on Pacific Gas and Electric and they've flatly refused for 
some of our neighbors.  Maybe SCE is more people friendly, but good 
luck, it's not likely one of the many priorities [like maybe San Onofre?].
