Utilities

Posted on by

If you ever wondered who owned that utility box next to your driveway, not the one marked SMUD, here is the answer:
Comcast/Xfinity – short with round top
Frontier – tall skinny box with a flat top
Consolidated Communications – in-ground marked “SUREWEST”

Also, did you know that most properties have easements on them to allow utility companies to bring their services to your home. You may have even received a notice on your door that the utility company may be working in your yard and may need access even to your back yard to get to some utility connections. The City of Elk Grove’s public works department has a page on their website to provide you with important info about who might be digging in your yard.  Click here for more info.
