When you plan to dig, first call 811 PA One Call, for all the groups with any underground facilities &/or utilities to respond….
If they CARE(D) they could even help! They CERTAINLY SHOULD!!! Recent studies indicate that hanging cables / wires - above ground on our houses - will greatly increase the home invasions of squirrels, (also insects, rats, mice, possums, raccoons, owls, and pigeons) into the walls, attics, ceilings, and living spaces... but as that is cheaper than putting the cables into underground conduits (whenEVER it is feasible), BUT - Most always, that is what the biggest wigs @ Verizon (and Comcast) have chosen to submit us to… Might help if everyone complained about this.
