Default Buried Cable

...
Evidently my neighbors Comcast cable went out and Comcast ran a
temporary line on top of the ground for him. The cable runs diagonally
through my backyard. I don't have a problem with my neighbor or
Comcast nor do I plan on digging in the backyard so I may just let
them bury it where it stands but...........I can't predict the future
and what I do today may effect me later.

If I let the routing of the cable stay am I liable for damaging the
cable in the future?



In my neck of the woods a utility company needs an easement to run across
any property that's not the recipient of the service
