When a cable company installs a cable line in an easement that is on my property, is the company obligated to restore my property to the condition it was in prior to the installation?
The franchise agreement requires that the cable companies replace and restore at their own expense all pavement (including sidewalks, driveways and streets) disturbed. The pavement must be in as good a condition it was before the work began. The franchise agreement deals specifically with paved surfaces and does not discuss grassy areas that may be disturbed during installation; however, the cable companies normally reseed any grassy area that they disturb during installation.
