When I was having my pool installed i told the pool company that the telephone company has an easement on the back of my property about 8 feet from the fence.

They said, no big deal we called digalert.
I said yeah, but there's an easement.
Don't worry about it.

The utilities came out and marked everything, except the telephone company.


The telephone company set up a 24 hour operation in the back yard splicing all those wires and fiber optics back together.

End result was it was their fault for not marking their utility, but half the neighborhood lost phone service and internet for a day or two.
