Re: Blame Tampa

Maybe in your local it's done that way, but around here there is a utility service company that comes out and marks everyone's line for the actual utility. It's quicker and easier for everyone involved as if you had to coordinate 6 or 7 utilities to come out and mark their lines, it would take forever and have quite a bit of duplicate efforts.

Same here.

I used to work for the city water treatment plant and every time a company wanted to dig, we went out and marked only our lines.

The power, gas, phone, and water companies would all come out and mark their transmission lines with flags or different colored spray paint.

I've never heard of a another company/service marking another companies/services lines. Who the hell would want a cable company coming out to mark a gas line, that's nuts.

It's not one utility marking another utility, it's a 3rd party that comes out and marks them. At least the few times that I've seen them in my neighborhood it's been that way.
