Has anyone had any experience dealing with issues about Telephone poles and CMP?
I found helpful information in a discussion titled:
BOARDS OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW AND OTHER ROAD OBLGATIONS
"talking to CMP they told me that anyone that has power has an agreement to maintain access to lines and CMP equipment year-round for their standard 34,000 lbs. truck. " The attachment was helpful too.
Some people have a utility easement deed, some do not. Some deeds have in their deed/title a statement about types of utilities on their land and some do not.
I believe that when phones where first installed, the company worked with municipalities to install the poles, but of course I wasn't born when phones were first installed. When our association looked at the issue of a telephone pole in the middle of the road (later finding out that it was not in the middle of the road), we had to create an account with CMP. CMP works with the telephone company. We had both representatives look at the pole and stated that due to prescriptive easements we would have to pay over $10,000 to move it, not including all the other cable companies.
Does anyone know how to find out about the easements on registry of deeds for the poles or through your municipalities?
