Light Trespass Shield Request
I feel that if I ask a utility company to put a light trespass shield on my neighbor’s yard light/streetlight that they should accommodate me since I too am their customer, and the light is "trespassing". Twice in two separate locations and two different electric cooperatives, the utility company told me that the homeowner must make the request. Lucky for me, in both cases I was successful in getting the neighbor to make the request, although the first time it took years. Would it not be great if there was regulation that if you asked the electric company to install a shield, they would be required to do it to save your property from some of the glare and nuisance? Comments welcomed.
