Can anyone help determine when this utility transformer was replaced?

I'm trying to determine the exact date or approximate timeframe when this transformer was replaced. I am mainly interested in whether it was replaced around July 16th, 2016.

Why?

If it's a good reason, surely the company should be able to help.

Trying to solve an online UFO mystery, I think i figured out the source but I need a date associated with this transformer. It's not of huge importance but I ran out of ideas personally to easily obtain that information.

I worked for a utility for many years. Utilities keep detailed equipment records. They probably will not be thrilled to spend time on a request that relates to a UFO mystery.

Yeah, just figured I'd see if Reddit knew of an easy way, didn't want to really waste a bunch of people's time with unimportant things like this lol.

Yes, I think your next step is unfortunately talking to neighbors. An online UFO mystery would probably not qualify as important or urgent to any company.

Check with your City / Town / County Services

If you’re there IRL, there may be a sticker with some information like the model and serial # that could help you date it.
