Cable Line

We all "should" leave markers alone for work on other people's yards. But since it could be weeks, I really have no control over his yard. Why can't someone contact me to let me know why there are markers and flags in the middle of his yard for work on my yard. 

@user_ed48qw Let them know that service companies have the right to work on easement property lines. Removing the flags that service companies have a right to place can delay the work required, basically it will make flags stay up longer if we have to go back and reinstall them. That section is reserved for companies to work and provide service, it is why we can place markers and dig in that section of the neighbor's yard legally. 

Not in easement. Flags are in middle of the yard and next to their house

Flags can be placed for a variety of reasons such as planned worked, safety, and more @user_ed48qw. We are unable to say if the flags may be needed or required as they are placed by a third party. If lines do need to be replaced, typically it can take up to 14 business days depending on a variety of factors such as flag placements for all utilities and more. You can learn more by visiting our 'When an underground cable line needs to be installed or replaced' support page. 

Please accept my most sincere apology for the experience you have encountered. I am glad to see that the drop bury process is moving forward, but as mentioned the utility marking is handled by a third-party company and we would not have any additional information to share regarding the flag placement. As work is going to be performed in the area, its usually best practice to mark anywhere near and around the work site for safety @user_ed48qw.
