I've been putting in some new water lines at my house. I had the wire locator service out and they had everything all marked out. Going along with the trencher and all of the sudden it's like the fourth of July. Transformers start blowing on the poles and the trencher is lit up for about 2 seconds. It seems when they came out to find the lines they mapped out the old main line. They put their finder on the old line and sprayed it out. They didn't use their current finder one. Well to say the least I was out with our local utility company until about 3 in the morning digging out lines and replacing them. Just glad it didn't shock me!!!! Pretty scary when the experts get it wrong.
