You should also find out what voltage is available.

What might have been available to that location 10 years ago might not be available now. Typically would apply to 3 phase power. Facilities may have been removed if they only served that building. Or only served yours and other buildings that have been also removed.

Sometimes they put service poles to feed gas station storage tank monitoring equipment. That could be the last service ran to the property. That may have a slightly different address depending on where it was on the property or to distinguish it different than the building.

You can also get very good educated guesses on available voltage by seeing what services are fed from the secondary distribution overhead wire. Like if a house is also feed by pole that also would feed your building; it’s probably 120/240v 3W 1ph.

But it could have two sets of secondary distribution wires. The second might be 3 phase. Or might be duplicate voltage of the first. But then you know to keep investigating and follow wires back to feeding transformer or transformer bank (3-ph).
