Utility Companies with signage.

[eamelhorn]

I stopped by my local Public Service Water Company today. They have new signage on the door. It has been put up in the last month.
Question, does signage on a public utility company have force of law? This company is county owned and ran.

... the willful unauthorized entry upon, in or under the property of another...

How does this answer his question regarding county-owned (public) property?

I'm not sure if this would fall under private property, as in fact it is a community property. A good friend of mine is the foreman who oversees installation repair ect. I used to live in an area where you had cisterns. There were several dry holes drilled for water. Everyone hauled their water, I had a 4000 gal cistern. But during dry months I would go the company. They had a hydrant with a coin operated water supply. I could but 210 gal for $1.75.He caught some people stealing there water from a hydrant. He told me told me he could have had them charged under terrorist activity. For it was a public water supply owned and operated by state and county funds. Is that true? I don't know. So would the office and plant is county/state ran. Will it still fall under *PRIVATE* property. Where signage has no force of law, unless asked to leave and you refuse?
