Actually there is a power distribution box in your back yard. You have three green boxes back there. Two tall narrow ones and one about 2 feet by three feet. The larger one is power. It has a swing up cover and power can be turned off to your home from inside. It will control your home plus about 3 or 4 others. There are separate pull fuse blocks for each home. The taller ones are for Comcast and telephone.

How do I know this you ask? Got a letter from Seco that my shrubs were blocking the cover and that they could not turn off power to my home or other homes in an emergency. I checked it out and trimmed my shrubs so the cover could swing open.
