That's what happened to me. They had to run a new line under the street after having a temporary cord for a week.
Anyone burying other cable or pipes on your street lately? Any storms lately?
@Sr0bi storms, yes. Digging not that I'm aware of recently.
But we've had a new line pulled to a street light in front of the house and 1 streetlight behind the house knocked down twice in the last 5 years. And a new fence next door in that same time frame. So environmental damage.
Sometimes a cable can get nicked in the process of other work, especially (like mine) if it's not buried where the records say it is. Then it corrodes over time and is more easily taken out by a storm.
Power Co is here. And we are 100 percent dark while they manage the line.
