    Is the lug on far right not the location for ground ? It meets under neutral . An what are those round oval cone like shaped pieces poking out on both sides from middle of meter..right one has tan covering over black part of it.

    Ground rod

    They wont reconnect service till its done. So it WILL BE INSPECTED . Id like to use this double lug for both #4 coppers in meter box to the neutral lug,on far right in pic,but unsure poco will approve. I want to be sure i cover it all including ground rod requirements .
