[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3607004, member: 44328"] It really doesn't matter who called in the request or why. If there's an easement there, utility companies have a right to access the easement to maintain their lines. Off the top of my head, I believe there is a period of time you're not supposed to pull them up, but it's limited. Like 3 days? Not sure. But once that period of time expires (sorry, not sure what it is) you are free to pull them up, whether anything has been done or not. I'm sure the corporation commission could tell you how long that is. BTW, if the utility company digs up your yard and doesn't restore it to your satisfaction, you can report it to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, and they mediate to make sure it gets put back into "reasonably" good condition. Utility companies hate corporation commission complaints, and will usually do anything they can within reason to avoid them, so if you're not getting satisfaction from the utility, you can tell them you'll have to call OCC. That will probably get their attention, and if it doesn't, a call to OCC will. I think you can file a complaint online. [/QUOTE]
