And BTW, if the homeowner hired a plumber to put in a sewer line, and the plumber cut AT&T's fiber, would the homeowner write a check to AT&T, or tell them to call the plumber? -----Original Message----- From: Josh Reynolds Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 3:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Fiber....your worst nightmare? I don't think you understand how this works. AT&T hires a contractor to install copper/fiber. Contractor needs to do work somewhere, so they hire the regional locate company to come in and locate existing utilities. Locate company marks the utilities. If the contractor hits an unmarked utility, the liability is on the locate company. If the contractor hits a marked utility, the liability is on the contractor. If a homeowner does work in the yard and hits a utility without having them located, the liability is on the homeowner.
