Delay before burying legit - but 15 days is plenty

A delay before burying cable is completely legit. There are laws in almost every state that prohibit digging until ALL the relevant utilities mark their underground cables; pipes; wire; etc.

And when a repair call is made, they want to get it working again right away, and not make customer wait 2 weeks, so they lay on the grass; across walkways; etc.

BUT, 15 days should be plenty to do that. And the law shouldn't just apply to those companies that need to bury the cable or wire. It HAS TO also apply to the companies that have to come out and mark their existing lines.

And if those companies don't come out and mark, then they should bear ALL THE FINES involved.

Actually no it is not. What thi sarticle fails to mention, is that the local authority has to PROVIDE permits for most UG burials. Now what part do you think takes the longest, some laborer to digging a ditch or some bureaucrat writting up a piece of paper granting permission?
