Some folks have private powerlines from the main road. In that case everything including the poles are the property owners responsibility.

My uncle's house is about a half mile up a private road from the main road. He is responsible for power and utilities from the main road.

Underground conduits are another matter in the case of a homeowners association. The power companies are responsible up to the meter but in the case of utilities, Metrocast claims the association is responsible for the underground cable to the main trunk. The association has no record of who is responsible so it is a gray area. No one has issues with the phone company so I am not sure what to expect there.
