Around here contractors are required by law to call a One Call 800
number before doing any excavation. The One Call people alert all of
the different utilities to visit the site and mark out their
underground lines so people don't get inconvenienced and possibly
damaged.


Oh, that was done! It was clearly marked with orange spray paint, and
the excavator was careful. It happened anyway. But the weather was
breezy, which helped dissipate the gas. I was actually twit enough to
ask, "Am I going to have to pay for the escaped gas?" Well, no... it
didn't go through the meter, did it? Hurray!
