If I'm out there and the line breaks whoever owns it will come after me for the damage.
Is there some central clearing house of information about whose wires are on certain poles? I tried 811, but they only care about buried lines.

In our area, the local utilities company is the first call you make. They usually send out a service truck to make a determination and then take it from there.
