"Anyone planning to do any excavation or construction con-struction should contact the Blue Stakes service," said Stephen Candia, manager of the services for northern Utah. "Cutting a utility line is very dangerous. Locating the buried cables not only prevents personal injury, but it can save you and the utility companies lost time and money spent in repairing the cables." Anyone who excavates without notifying the utility department, and damages any facility on right of way lands, is subject to a civil penalty of up to $299 for the offense. In addition to drop wires, other telephone cables, power lines and gas lines could be buried near your home or construction site. If one of these cables in your, area is accidentally cut, you and your neighbors may be left without these services at a time when they are urgently needed. Before doing any digging or before installing fences, sprinkler systems or landscaping, land-scaping, call the Blue Stakes service. Even though Blue Stakes doesn't usually locate telephone drop wires, a Blue Stakes representative will come to your home or constructionsite and help you determine where other utility lines or cables are buried. He-she will mark the routes of power, gas, and telephone lines with blue stakes. The service is free of charge. Spring thaw accelerates construction activity. Contractors are anxious to catch up on deferred work which they have been stockpiling stock-piling during the winter months. Poeple are anxious to get out in their yards to prepare for their gardens or work on their landscaping. Before you start to dig, however, Mountain Bell would like to tell you how to determine where your drop wire for telephone service is most likely to be buried. To prevent digging up or cutting this buried wire, Mountain Bell suggests that you first locate the protector box which is mounted on the back of the house. Then, scan toward the back lot. Along your property line or possibly two or three houses away from you, you will see a gray pedestal which houses the wiring for telephone service to several houses. After locating the protector box and the pedestal, draw an imaginary line from one to the other. The drop wire usually runs in a straight line from the house to the pedestal within a . four-foot radius. Drop wires are usually buried at least 18 inches deep. However, due to excavating, ex-cavating, the wire might be right underneath the sod, so it is important that you be aware of its location to prevent interruption to your telephone service, and possibly your neighbor's service. Because of the unexpected growth in the entire state, there are several areas where temporary drop wires have been installed but not yet buried. You may be one of the customers waiting to have a drop wire buried. The telephone company is aware of the situation and will take care of it as soon as possible. 4 T in. r Tittr . 4- ( v ' f y V" $w , Todd H. DAvenpqrt recently celebrated his first birthday.
