Power Lines

Hi folks,

The long and short of my question: Does anyone know the minimum height for power lines in the city? Google's all over the place.

Longer explanation: So I'm sure some of us remember way back to yesterday when there was a big power outage. Well, when they fixed it they lowered the lines in front of my driveway by a good bit (Eyeballing it, it's probably 9 feet or so over the sidewalk which, yikes). The big issue for me right now is that I have a dumpster parked in my driveway for some work I'm doing and the rental company can't actually remove the ding dang thing with the lines at the height they've been lowered to.

Rather than having them drag it out and ruin my driveway, I'm going to be calling NGrid after work and would appreciate knowing before I call whether they're even legally able to be this low. Any help would be a godsend, thanks.
