Pro tip: Saw a spike in fiber cuts from new landscaping crews this month.

Verify all underground marks before any dig starts to avoid costly repairs.

Last year's big outage in Austin started with a single missed mark... those repairs take forever. Really drives home why checking matters.

But what if checking all those marks just slows everything down? Some crews have done this work forever and rarely have issues, so all that checking might not help. In fact, the time spent could be worse than a few cut lines.

Rarely have issues until that one cut shuts down a whole block.
