Reply to comment by bcardarella in Comcast left a note stating they plan to dig up my lawn upgrade a line. I don't even have Comcast and I don't want them digging. How can I stop this? by bcardarella

How do you know this for sure? Have you looked this up in city records? Utility companies often have broad access easements.

I’m going to double check on Monday when town hall opens.

I would check your county registry of deeds for any recorded easements. All should be accessible online.

The county handles the registry of deeds, which is where any recorded easement would be. Suffolk County Registry of Deeds is searchable online. I would be fairly shocked if there wasn’t a utility easement that Comcast is entitled to use. I also think you’re being shortsighted, those easements normally require them to put the yard back the way they found it as long as you haven’t built, like, an in ground pool in the way.
