Is it even on your property? The poles appear to have been there for a while so there is obviously an easement. If they want to add to their infrastructure on pre-existing poles, you are not getting any reimbursement.

K. Well, you can't tell from that angle, but from our lovely tree hammock area

You can lay in your hammock and ponder on the wonders of electricity

Wow what an eyesore, and no extra charge for the cancer.

Cancer? What are you even talking about.

Wow that sucks. Probably nothing you can do about it unfortunately.

It is on their easement, you'll lose and won't get anything.

Chester Copperpot

Maybe. Not sure though.

grosven

10/16/19 3:38pm

Its already in place. They won't remove that.

mudpupper

10/16/19 3:41pm

Agreed. They have the right, they don't have to ask homeowners (who will say no)

You’re probably right, but I’ll find out.

grosven

Have you tried contacting Rocky Mountain Power about it?

mobomanjoe

10/16/19 3:37pm

They might have had an easement in place long before. I;d call the city first and start there. Then the county.

That sucks big time, but fighting public utility easements is rarely successful.

Sucks, but I can't imagine you'd have any luck fighting it.

See if they can put a fence around it and have it lowered.

I hate that Utah has so many above ground power lines - they are so ugly. This shouldn't happen to anyone ever. These

All new developments and new construction have underground utilities

Ugly, and that sucks. But they won't move it, apologize or pony up anything.

You may want to check the plat map first.

Honestly, it will suck your soul. Not worth fighting it. Just plant some trees

They just put up the regulators over night.

It must have been in the plans. Why else would they have put two poles that
