If the workers walk on private property to reach an easement... they are trespassing. There's no legal get-around on that. This is why they are required to ask permission when using this shortcut method. Also, if they enter the easement legally (no matter how far away the entrance of the easement is - in relation to where they need to perform the work)... and then stay within the boundries of the easement at all times... they don't need to knock on door; and probably won't. No permission is needed. But even then - you still should go to where they are and get a feel for what they are doing. |

None of these easement encroachment issues would exist if the government hadn't stole the easements from the developer. As I noted in post #21.

I realize things are a little different when we are talking about a house in a subdivision, and a guy walks up with no trucks or equipment visible, but I always get a laugh when a landowner challenges one of our crews. When we roll up, we've got either tractors and mowers, a tree mulcher, a jaraffe, or some combo.
"What are you doing here?" Must resist the urge to say something smart ass, like, we are Al-Quaeda rebels, and we are here to bring down the country by mowing the pipeline easement that runs through your property. If you had kept that easement cleared, you could have saved the country, but since you didn't we are here to kill you. WTF do you think we are here to do with that kind of equipment? |

Oh, I totally agree that they have a right to know what you are doing there. Our guys are always polite and forthcoming about what they are doing and why they are there. I just think its funny, because they are asking a question they already know the answer to, or SHOULD already know the answer to. Even if they just bought the property, they should know that that property is encumbered by a ppl easement.

I guess not. What difference does it make who actually "owns" the easement. The homeowner still owns the land, and still must suffer with people associated with whatever utility needing access to that easement. What difference does it make to the homeowner whether the developer has been cut out of residual income or not? |

Here's a little mind blower for you guys.
Say utility workers are on the easement. They have to trespass on your property off-easement to go to your house/barn/wherever you are to notify you that they are there and what they are doing. In many cases that means they are approaching from the BACK of the property, not up the driveway from the street. To give you the respect you deserve, they have to violate your private property rights. Common sense solves most of these issues. |

A meter reader is a different issue. My pops house used to have the meter inside in the basement. On meter read day, we'd leave the basement door open so the reader could come inside to read it. |

Sounds like a "we don't have to respect private property laws. I always get a clown who approaches us and..." Let me tell you this; you trespass on my property; you will see me face-to-face, and I have zero hesitation to call the police. This will stop your workday - dead in its tracks; it will turn out to be a zero production day for you and your crew. Don't want this hassle ? It's this simple; If you want to have a work day go smoothly & flawless... don't ridicule private propertry owners. Show proper respect by knocking and obtaining permission before going outside any easement path. |

The County/State/City OWN the poles, Verizon etc have contracts to be able to access the poles through the County/City/State. They have every right. Although a courtesy call letting you know would have been nice.

Actually, the utility company (power company) owns the poles. And correct, the utility co. leases access to the other providers (cable and tele)
