For the first time in a long time, I have a woman asking me if I want to meet for a coffee.
I’d love to, but some fucking moron decided to dig without calling first and busted open a water main for the whole neighborhood and now I can’t even take a shower. I am about to go to the store to buy a bunch of jugs of water just so I can flush the toilet.
No timeline on when it’s going to be fixed, either.
Sometimes it really feels like the universe just likes to spit in my fucking face and then laugh at me.
In Canada, click before you dig (same thing rebranded) they can only locate public utilities. So water, power, gas, maybe main data lines. But private lines aren’t, so if someone installed a shed and ran power, click before you dig can’t find it.
Sometimes you need to pay a private locator, they will dig through permits and prints, and use tools to locate possible lines. But if a homeowner buried their own power or water lines…. Your SOL in all regards.
