Duke Energy has refused to remove a large orange cable that is down on the length of my property (3/4 of an acre). They say someone else needs to take care of it, like maybe a cable company. I am concerned that it is dangerous to kids in my neighborhood and I cannot do yard work around it. Moreover, it is in the utility easement. They said to pick it up and see if it is attached to the utility line and I am unwilling to do that because it seems risky. In any case, no utility should be leaving their waste on my property and they should take responsibility for removing it safely.

A rubber boot is on the ground by the power pole. It appears to be an insulator.
This is the mess still behind my home from the fiber optics peopleā¦
Fiber optic installation created some cylindrical holes in the concrete and asphalt about 6" in diameter in various locations. At this intersection, there is one that was apparently refilled with gravel, but another was left open and a stepping hazard. It is on the north part of the intersection, just north of where 11th crosses and closer to the east side of the street than the west. We found a concrete core by the side of the road that likely came out of the hole originally so we placed it back in the hole, but it sunk down a ways because it was unsupported beneath and now it needs to be topped off with gravel or the core should be removed and the entire hole filled with gravel.
There is a round hole in the pavement, next to the grass across from the church at 1701 E Second Street. I am sure this is NOT a utility construction project, but I do not know where else to report it. It is a hazard, though. I suspect a metal cover is missing.
Case #202092. We appreciate you setting up 2 huge warning signs near the cut, but the first orange square warning is backwards.. Needs to be turned around. The warning is not visible for motorist driving west.
Utility cut in the road, no warning sign whatsoever.
