The UFPO in NY only works in the right-of-way and the lines only have

That was my experience too. They flagged the right of way but did not
locate my phone line, which we hit ... of course. Fortunately I had a
roll of flooded phone cable I found in a dumpster so I just had my
"labor" ditch it in and I connected it up to there green post on the
ROW. Their line was about 2" deep. I put it back about 18" down and
"sleeved" it under the new driveway in a 2" PVC.


For you, the OP, and everyone else -- don't forget to put down the
safety tape before you fill the trench back in.
