Description

The telephone pole that is located between houses 2 and 4 is leaning to the left causing the power lines that go across the road to 5 Carrollton st. to be too low to the ground. On tuesday this past week when trash was collected the garbage truck nicked the power line with the robot arm/trash barrel causing the power line to sway and the telephone pole and all wires attached to it to shake very badly. The garbage truck was very lucky that the power line was not snagged and pulled off and onto the truck. This IS NOT the 1st issue we have had with the lines being too low to the ground. They have almost been snagged by landscaping trucks, fire trucks and tree removal trucks over the past year. It would be great to have a new pole installed AND raise the wires to a safe height. I Would hate to see anyone get hurt because of this.
