You're nuts. Maybe at the end of a 100 yard long run. Maybe.

There is no reason, however, for the entire feed to a building to sag
that far between loaded and unloaded.

it's most likely the feed to the building is 480/460 and a transformer
is being used.
I don't know to many electric companies that will supply 240 3 phase
any more.

I'd be willing to bet that the transformer came along with the move and
that being the case, yes, it can sag abit when other equipment get going
because I can't picture a huge xformer in use here.
