I'm on a job building a road in a new housing development. We rough graded the sight seven years ago, put in water and sewer, storm drains, and roughed in and rocked the road. Now there are several new houses built and they are putting in curb and gutter and paving the street. They are building the road at elevations to try to match the new existing concrete drives, so I have to do a little cut and fill here and there. All utilities are located. The problem I have is a fiber optic cable television wire is about 1 inch below my subgrade. I had them come out and look at it and asked if they would lower it. They asked how much. I said I don't know, it's your cable, I'm running a 40,000 lb machine within an inch of it, how much can it stand? They said you're not going any deeper? Than it will be fine. I am fairly confident of my operating ability, but still, stuff happens. I told them I assume absolutely no liabilty if the line is damaged, as I will not be the only operator on site as the job progresses. They said they will relocate it after I'm finished. What do you guys think. I'm not going to worry about it, I'm done in that area. I've always thought most utilities are buttheads, this just proves it. Oh yeah, it's Mediacom Cable.
