That doesn't make any sense. You make it sound like the temporary pole stayed there for awhile and all the neighbors tapped into it. Around here when a house is done and the final inspection is given, they swing the service feed over to the service entrance and go hot on the house from the breaker box. Thus, the pole is dead and the meter is gone.
