Scratch Monkey posted:I recently called the state utility location service because I planned to plant something in my front yard and was informed that I apparently don't have running water in my house. If they only marked up the the water shutoff then it means you own the line from the shut off to your house, and should get a private locator out there to locate it the rest of the way. CRUSTY MINGE posted:I get that if it's abandoned, you backfill it. Though it sounds like it's still in use, so something allowing access, yet securable, would be better than a gaping hole for squirrels and rabbits to fall into. If its no longer in use, the very least to be done is remove any pumping equipment. Pump several well volumes (diameter x depth) using other equipment to pump that poo poo out, and then filling it with a "suitable sealant". "Suitable sealant" is ideally bentonite grout, tremied from the bottom up (not just poured since that would dilute the poo poo out of it) but as a DIY job, you could probably get away with dumping bentonite chips down there. It looks like a big diameter well, and could be rather deep so it may take a *lot* of that poo poo. Like more than a skid. Best practice would be to call a well drilling company and get them to do it. I abandoned a well today as a matter of fact. wesleywillis fucked around with this message at 18:09 on May 7, 2021 |

Ornamental Dingbat posted:My neighbor punctured a gas line digging 4" down to plant hydrangeas. A year or so back, my parents' neighbors were getting a new fence, which then escalated to a bunch of people getting new fences, all with the same company. Everything went great until they were working on the last house and they pulled out a fence post, started clearing out the hole to put in a new fence post, and punctured a gas line that I guess was going from the street to the house. They hadn't called, because I guess why would you call for a hole that technically already exists. I'm guessing the fine wiped out a good chunk of their profits from the whole thing. I'm not sure why the people who put the original fence in would put the post directly on top of where they gas line would have been marked, but whatever.

The gas line might have been directionally drilled, after the fence was put up. Or typically if you're digging a hole with a shovel you don't *need* locates. Only when using powered equipment or certain other things. I think around here if you're digging with a shovel "hand digging" then you don't need them. But you do need them if using a pick axe because you're swinging that motherfucker or a T bar driver because you're banging that poo poo..

We had to have our sewer line replaced and at one point they had five guys just standing around, staring into one of the trenches. "Well this can't be good," I said. Turns out the gas company had lied about where the line ran under the street, and the mystery pipe they discovered while digging the last trench was, in fact, the gas main. One emergency locate later, they admitted their mistake. Could have been a very exciting adventure.

armchairyoda posted:Lol, let me tell you some stories of farmers just “digging for new fence posts”... When I was in college I got a call from my parents where they had that tone that's a mix of "LOL that was crazy!" and "Oh gently caress we could have died." Overnight a bad thunderstorm rolled through and lightning struck a tree in the front yard and suddenly they were smelling gas. The bolt picked the tree closest to the gas line and nicked it, but I guess between it being so fast and the line being deep enough, the gas didn't get enough oxygen to ignite. My parents immediately hosed off to the neighbors and called the gas company.
