Neighbor had standing water on his property and convinced the county to fix it. So the county decides to put a new ditch out front of the house, with a buried tile underneath. They had some contractor mark the lines, except they apparently marked incorrectly. I was out of town at the time they started so I missed the initial fun when the county cut through my buried phone, cable, and electrical. They fixed my electrical the afternoon they cut it, but I had to call to have my phone and cable repaired once I got back. The repaired phone/cable lines were left exposed across the top of the open ditch with plenty of slack so that they could be handled, but what does the county do? They cut them both again. I guess they got tired of having to move them. Obviously it was no cost to me, but it was quite an inconvienence. I had to call again and lost service for a couple days. Sad part was I actually knew a couple of guys on the crew and even after they knew it was my house they were careless anyway. I even got left with ruts in the yard and now I have drainage problems. They left the grade off just enough that water in my yard pools up before it can get into the "new" ditch.
