Back in November we built a fence. Before doing any digging, we called 811 and they marked the lines. One of our neighbors’ Verizon lines ran along our property line, so we played it safe and dug at least a foot away from the line. We were pretty surprised when we found out we cut it, since we were so far away from the marking and the line was barely two inches deep. Luckily for our neighbors, the Verizon people were able to fix it the next day.
Fast forward to January and I receive a call from CRM claims trying to get me to pay for the damages (>$200!!!). I don’t believe I should be responsible for damages that were caused by poorly marked lines. Has this happened to anybody else??
