I visited and walked your block some months ago, because I was curious about the situation there. We were building to reach at least one school in the area, but the wood utility poles were overloaded, so we were forced to go underground there. That makes it much harder to reach the homes, in the near or long term, because our conduit and cable are deep underground. But if and when we do build residential service in the region overall, and if those poles have been reinforced or replaced by then, we'd be able to build a second path, overhead.
All public utilities share a common public utilities easement, so gas, sewer etc can all cross your property in that space, FYI. Oh, and those poles stand in that space too.
