Paint goes both ways, the fiber crew needs to be painting white. Same as sharing a map.
Water and sewer system frequently have no locate wires, so the locations are WAGs. Sewer is normally deep enough not to be a factor. But not always. I just recently had to fix a sewer lateral that we broke last fall. We were drilling. We thought we smelled something but checked all the houses in the area and nobody was having troubles. Not until labor day weekend this year. Went back, 15’ deep. Trench boxes. Teracotta pipe. Put in a section of PVC with furnco couplings. Not a fun day for anyone.

And part of the permitting process is to supply drawings to the county/state/BLM whoever is the landowner. I presume there is an underground locate law in Texas. They should have dialed 811 and not done anything until everything was painted. From: Jaime Solorza Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2021 12:01 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: [AFMUG] Fiber optics crews Spectrum has hired some contractor to run fiber into Tornillo, a small farming community outside El Paso, Texas. These guys are trenching near the local water company's water and sewer lines. They refused to share their maps with water folks...water company manager warned them and is also contacting Spectrum about these jerks. Not sure if same crew but they cut into water lines in Fabens, which is just 6 miles west of Fabens... The Fabens water guys brought in their heavy equipment and blocked them from leaving...sheriff department got involved.. I thought all you fiber dudes have to get permits and access maps to avoid crap like this... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
