Fiber Installation
It appears that fiber is being put into my subdivision. I do not have ATT. Who authorizes ATT or its subcontractors to damage my yard but digging and trenching to place the fiber?

Your local government that controls easement and ROW access
from online source…
What is an easement?
An easement gives legal rights to someone to use your land for a specific purpose.
What are some common types of easements?
What is the difference between an appurtenant easement and an easement in gross?
An appurtenant easement applies to the land, meaning that if the landowner sells the land, the easement remains with it.
While an easement in gross gives rights to an individual for as long as the owner owns the property. The easement belongs to the person rather than the land, so if the land owner sells the land or easement owner passes away the easement expires.
Affirmative Easement vs. Negative Easement
An affirmative easement, also known as a positive easement, grants permission for land to be used for a specific purpose. Without this type of easement an act may be considered trespassing or nuisance.
Examples of affirmative easements might include:
A negative easement is a restriction placed on the land. With this type of easement, there is an agreement that something will not be done on/with the land.
Examples of negative easements:
What are some restrictions that an easement can have?
Unfortunately, easement rights may come with restrictions regarding construction, fencing or building setback requirements beyond the particular local ordinances.

Separate question. If a customer lives on a 300ft private driveway (3 residences along driveway) of which the utility has easement rights to, would att cover the cost of re-trenching the driveway to install fiber-optic, or would the property owners have to pay for the installation?
