Central Iowa | Andya you don't list your location but in Iowa minimum power line height is 18' not sure on phone or cable lines. In my county the phone lines must be buried in the road right of way. On gravel right in the road on hard surface in the ditch. About 30 years ago Ma Bell asked for an easement to bury a fiber optic line through our farm from a microwave tower they put it about 10' from the fence which was about as close as they could get with their equipment. It hasn't been a problem I put a new tile line in a couple years ago and was surprised how big the line is, it's almost an inch in diameter.
I understand what you're dealing with like others have said there are rules they have to follow. The company knows the rules and are just trying to get the line up the cheapest way they can. Stay professional but protect your property rights. | |
