Mysterious Utility Box Shows Up In Resident?s Yard

[ChickNorris]

How many do you think they'd have to try to install on my lawn before one finally stuck?

Doesn't the city have to send a letter to the home owner explaining what they are doing? They had to do that in my neighborhood before they put speed bumps in front of people's houses.

Nope. The city hawked the easement access rights to Verizon or whatever and they just go do what they want. Same as Comcast burying a cable across an easement in your back yard or putting a pedestal on the easement.

Sometimes, it's better not to go to the press.

Nobody's ever tried to install one of them things here. Contractor probably stole it or something.

Maybe people should practice tennis/basketball/baseball catch on a front lawn. May be those utility companies might think putting that crap on the lawn/near driveway would be a bad idea.

Denver is getting some towers. I guess that means when she gets the tower to go with it, she can use it to hang her laundry. Too. FF...

She's fooked. And they're gonna start popping up everywhere.

Probably not yet, but the utility side of the meter is ready for Excel to hook up if they already haven?t and it won?t have a meter installed until the electrical inspector ( both State & local) inspect and put an approval notice on it. The construction permit should be posted on it though. But it could be in the customer side cover.

So knocking it over could be a shocking experience considering the pedestal is probably rated at a 10K amp dead short.

I doubt it's hot yet. There is no padlock on the disco. That'd be a bad thing if the line side was hot going into an unlocked disconnect with an open meter socket.

Nice pick up. ^^


I hope they at least paint them.
