Yep, drilling up a steep street. Sometimes the bit gets too deep on you. If
the hill is rising faster than you can steer up, you will go down.

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.

We do have to get permits. 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.

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...
