We have a 16 foot utility easement along the backside of our yard...Our fence bisects the easement...To access and perform work they have to remove a portion of my fence or the nieghbors fence to do any "heavy trench" work...That has not happened in about ten years...If that is the kind of work to be done, I have never had a bone of contention, because they usually notify way in advance, and assure and approve that the accessway gained is re-secured to my satisfaction in the end...

As for the meter reader vultures...You guys know where this is going to go...

They should know better than to "jump" fences...And damage the pickets and other features of those private property improvements...I have talkd the transient customer service and meter readers (when I catch them) that if they would give me notice, or leave a note and come back later, I will be more than happy to give them access to do the work...

The problem is...There is never the same person twice that does this, or that I talk to...

So I am usually caught between Iraq and a hard place...
