easement
I am putting a fence on my property and have a utility easement that I need approval to encroach into. There is no interference with posts where the CATV line crosses. How do I get the approval letter?

Greetings, @user_gjwkai! Easement rights are a public utility right-of-way that helps Comcast maintain its equipment. In the areas where Comcast has overhead cable lines, the space for the lines is rented from the public utility. For areas where the cable lines are underground, the easement is usually three to five feet in from the sidewalk/roadway or maybe in a backyard. If you’re concerned about the location or the condition of a pole(s), please contact your public utility company. Any easement that may exist on any property is always noted on the title report for that property. The title report is provided to the property owner at the time of the purchase by the title company.
I'd also encourage visiting the "Call Before You Dig" website at www.call811.com for tools and information to help with any excavation needs. 811 is the designated "Call Before You Dig" phone number that directly connects you to the local One Call Center. Each state has different rules and regulations governing digging, some stricter than others. More info including State-Specific Information can be found here. I hope this info helps!
