Re: Overhead Power line Height requirements

Okay, maybe you're right. I assumed because of their size they were power. These are poles on either side of my house.
If they're phone and cable, Who would own those "Bundles"?
Is there a height requirement for them as well?





Nothing comes to my house from those poles. As I said, everything comes to my house underground and from the back yard.

The phone company, and the cable company?

Well yeah, but since they're bundled together, if they were to move them it would probably have to be all at once. Which company would own that responsibility, if either. Just wondering who I would call. Or if would take some kind of coordinated effort between them all. If that's the case. All hope is gone.

Thanks for the better pics. The middle two wires are definitely power. In your second pic you can see that they are connected to the transformer on the pole. The bottom bundle looks to me like cable and it appears there may also be fiber with it. I think some of the cable systems use the hard cable and fiber together but this gets out of my knowledge base.

Cut the cables, then see who comes out to fix them.

Generally phone is the lowest on the pole with CATV being in the middle, but in those pictures, that is CATV lines. Your phone must be buried.

Phone may be in the air at some point. But from the VRAD to my house it is buried. I can still see the scars in my back yard from the trench they dug to run a new one because the comed guys cut it in about 4 places digging behind my fence last year.
