Not necessarily.

In CT, here is how our power co defines it for overhead service

https://www.eversource.com/Content/c...ment-ownership

That's interesting. That document states that the customer owns and maintains
the Clevis (House Knob).

In my (non-CT) situation (described in an earlier post) my utility installed
a new house knob for me as part of a disconnect/reconnect so I could repair
my siding. My house knob had been ripped out by an ice-event and they installed
a new one in a more secure location without my even asking. I'm not
complaining, not at all.
Like I said in my last post - it's a case of "CYA" The clevis ( house
knob) or eye-bolt is cheap insurance to be sure the cable will stay up
- and it avoids him having to come back after "someone else" installs
one for him - and it makes him and the utility look good. One case
where "everyone is a winner"

I agree. He also made it easy for me to replace the siding since I now
had a clear field to work with. It ended up being a much cleaner look
when it was done. If it ever pulls out again, repairing/replacing the
trim will be a lot easier than replacing the siding.
