New Rules for Cell Antennas May Help Town Deal with Problematic Utility Poles

By Charlie Breitrose | January 31, 2019

An example of a double utility pole on Main Street in Watertown. The Public Works Subcommittee passed rules for cell antennas going on poles which they hope will deal with double poles and leaning ones. New rules about where cell antennas can go and what they will look like went into place at a Council subcommittee meeting Tuesday. They include efforts to address the problems of leaning utility poles and double poles around town, but did not go as far as originally proposed. The new rules have a long name: the Grant of Location for a Small Wireless Facility Located in a Public Right of Way in the Town of Watertown.
