If they are, I guess you have to determine whether the loss is worth it compared to the immediate concern as well as the probability of a reduced resale value.

In looking at the pictures, it appears that the utilities were placed in the wrong spot OR the homesites were not placed right. Every other neighborhood I've seen has the boxes straddle lot lines, not be placed entirely on one lot. I agree with CaptJohn that Penguin needs to see the plans from TV and SECO and compare with the plan seen when picking the lot.
According to the map, they do not straddle the lot line, but are instead on the lots in back of these lots.

Again, his Plat of Survey does not indicate any of these boxes giving him legal grounds.

Please pull out your surveys, you will see EVERYTHING that is on your lot with a legend explaining what everything on your survey is.

NONE of this is on his survey!
