Anyone remember the post that gave some tips on what you should do before you dig? What were you supposed to do?

Not good at all. Dig Rite here in MO is a joke, I have had several contractors I know hit lines as everything was marked wrong. The utility companies always seemed to want big money though out of the gate until they knew the facts.
 
We busted a water line to a hotel right outside of disney world at 7:30 in the morning. Probably a 500 room or more hotel. Took until noon to get their water turned back on. The hotel manager was real upset with us for some reason. And a few of the soapy headed guests too i imagine.
 
A few southerners have commented on this thread so far... If they can still get online then it must not be to big of a deal, right?
I chopped into one that wasn't hooked up yet earlier this year with a pair of post hole diggers. Luckily they were about eight inches past thier easement(measured AFTER I built the fence) or that would have been an expensive post. I was nice about it and said they could repair it and leave it there and let the "I'm just glad I'm not in a bunch of trouble" at the end of the sentance stay silent.
 
The good thing is I wasn't responsible. This was the doings of our county government boys. Talked to one of the repairmen. He was scratching his head and said we averaged around $20,000 per month in repair bills due to these guys but the county agreed to hike some fee on our phone and cable bills to cover little mishaps like this. I'm just glad its not costing me anything.
 
Yep. We try to have our ditches as deep as possible even though they don't go anywhere. We do this so when it rains, nature - which hates a vaccum - will wash the road out to fill the ditch with dirt. It all makes perfect sense to anyone who doesn't know anything about road construction or road maintenance but it does build a nice fat bureaucracy.

I thought it was a safety measure so that vehicles won't bounce off the bank and into the non-existing oncoming traffic. Did your county truck in 6 inches of the slickest clay known to man to build up the crown? Of course, since it would be too expensive for the entire county, they just save it for the biggest hills and areas with the deepest canyons.
 
I hope it wasn't one of those big extra heavy, extra wide grader blades. Those things exist solely for killing phone lines and should be banned.

That's the one. We used to have a Seabee that ran the road department but he retired. It took two young political appointees to take his place and we now have twice the equipment, twice the size, twice the manpower and our roads are in worse shape than ever. I think they are hoping if they could only get the ditches dug a few feet deeper all will be well in the universe.

There I was thinking only our county road department were the only ones brilliant enough to do this. You would think after the school bus accident they would have learned something but ....
 
It is just a 50 pr copper cable; a good cable splicer should be able to repair this in a couple of hours, that is if the other end is close. If the other end is buried, then that is another story. For something that small we usually do not charge the contractor unless they bury it back and we have to dig it up.
