SW Michigan | This was the situation in my field across from my house. The powerline was just high enough, but when they put their fiber line several feet lower, it wasn’t OK anymore.
The fiber installers were outside contractors, and installed the wire at just above tractor cab height. Since it was pasture at the time , I let it go for several years. .
Last year I called the local utility, and they set new poles to get it up out of the way. Unfortunately, they had to add another pole to get it over the rise, but I can live with that, I guess.
I had no issues having that done before harvest.
.
Years ago, when I built my barn there was a powerline running across the roof of the old building, which I wanted to raise. The local utility told me that they had to have 12 feet of clearance above a building, they buried the line for me no problem. This was an electrical line not fiber.
I’d check with the owner of the poles..
They will have to deal with it for the next 40 years.
People installing the fiber are likely outside contractors trying to do it on the cheap.
