Re: [Connectivity] Help: We accidentally cut our comcast HCI lin trust me, Comcast does not believe in locates. They showed up one day to do a buried drop with a road bore at my house. Never called in a locate. They kicked the line in from the street almost all the way up to my house about 3 inches deep. When they were almost done, I called the township and the codes inspector came out, busted them for not having a locate and made them rip out the line because it wasn't deep enough. |

Quakertown, PA | I worked in downingtown, They dont have a code for depth. Your contractor got busted for not having a road crossing permit and a locate. |

I dont work for comcast any longer but is still go head to head on why we dont need permits to replace drops. Some townships think they can require it. If they would actually read the dam franchise agreement THEY signed they would see we dont need permits. I especially like the townships that think they deserve a per foot permit. I work for service electric now and run into the same shit every day. A township saying you need a permit and us saying no we dont. the advantage of working for service electric we get to call the guy that actually negotiated the franchise agreement and he calls and shows them exactly where it says we dont need a permit. They are wrong all over the multiple counties the franchise agreement specifies no permits needed for replacement lines only new build. They can be a pain in the ass but all franchise agreements pretty well cover the fact that repairs or replacemes dont require permits. |
