Marking isn't really the same as getting a permit. Anyone can call 811 and get stuff marked, at least in Ohio. Getting a permit is a totally different situation and it can be super easy or a massive pain in the dick. Josh Luthman 24/7 Help Desk: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Su

Yes permits are required here as well but this crew is from out of area and according to one of the water guys, assholes... I told them what Fabens guys did with heavy equipment to block them.

Is it a Gov't job?  I remember at one of the AF's years ago talking to a guy who said that there is a fiber line in his area that is never marked.  If it gets hit, an hour later guys in black trucks show up, tell the crew that hit it to take the rest of the day off, and the next day the conduit
