Do you have power lines running underground and a transformer box near one of 
the three houses?

How about a watersoftner in one of the houses.

Also look for INternet monitoring of electrical power loops (meters), light 
poles...even if they are off during the day their keep-alive/on-off circuit  
may 
be causing the problem.
