Pole Removal
Hello Telus,
BC Hydro recently replaced the pole that our electrical and telecommunication lines are on. They used the 'cut and kick' method which left your lines connected to the old rotting pole that was cut down and tethered to the new pole.
How do I begin the process of getting Telus to move their lines over to the new pole and removing the old pole?
BC Hydro has instructed me to contact you to finish the process. I reached out to your technical support team who made me an appointment with a technician. After nobody showed up for the appointment, I was told by another agent that the incorrect team was dispatched. I'm not confident your front-line call centre staff are familiar with how utility poles are replace here in Canada.
I have reached out to you via private message and haven't heard back. I see from other posts you were able to help get the ball rolling. While not an emergency case, I'd like to ensure it does not fall by the wayside.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Same issue, hydro said telus owned the pole, when someone from telus came they said they couldn't do anything as my provider is shaw, however learning that now that a line that's attached from cut rotted pole has fallen dragging across one side property covering and touching the grounding attached to other poles leading out drvway and down main road.. when fallen took out my security line /camera. Nobody is willing to take responsibility or willing to resolve its keeps being past over to each provider etc.. but nothing being resolved. Major safety concern.
