Flags in yards/Utility Work

We’ve been getting the calls and now we’ve got some answers!

The flags appearing in yards all over the area are related to the installation of fiber optic internet, a Frontier project (but they also have several sub-contractors doing work for them).

The flags are marking other underground utilities; water, sewer, gas lines, electric lines, phone lines etc.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that these flags ARE NOT moved or disturbed by anyone other than utility workers.

It’s our information that there is a +/- 4 feet margin. If contractors hit something within that distance from the flags, they are responsible for the cost to repair. If someone moves it and then they hit something – the HOMEOWNER will be held responsible for the cost of repairs!!

A Photo of the door hanger (front & back) that should have been left at area residences is posted here!   If you have questions/concerns etc, please use the contact information on the door hanger.
