Cecil,

Around here those are known as a "whizzer'.  You try your best to do the 
right thing and put in a good working system and legal... but rather than 
deal with the hard nosed people at the county, you simply whizz 'er in.  I 
first learned the term from an AT&T guy who was running a "whizzer' line 
along one of my properties when he was having trouble getting an easement 
from an adjoining railroad.  It's the same idea.
