Nat. Gas and Telephone

Note related to the buried telephone line:

  1. The cable was buried about 6″ deep in the area of the patio and likely is the same across the backyard.
  2. The quick curves in the telephone line just north of the house–crossing the backyard east to west–as shown by the orange locate flags.
  3. The jog just north of the pedestal at the road as it crosses the yard and then jogs SE to the pedestal at the edge of the tilled area for the flower bed.
10/18/2018 Buried deeper in flower bed.

See water supply photos at top of this page for the cable. The cable is directly under the blue PEK water supply line; i.e. about 9″ below grade and with nicks in insulation. Across the front lawn is likely very shallow; maybe only 6″ deep.

Telephone in the ROW

Septic Tank

Cleaned out 10/17/2018 by Billies Septic Tank Service. The line in from the house is on the west end and the baffle and line to the field lines is on the east side of the 1,000-gallon tank. Note the lid they opened is much newer than the rest of the tank.

Sanitary Sewer

Removal of the concrete walkway to the front door and excavating for the concrete unit paver walkway shattered a very shallow 4″ drain line running diagonally from the house, southeasterly to the septic tank. Replaced the bad pipe with new pvc pipe.

Electrical Cable to the Barn – A 3/4″ PVC pipe is next to the cables.
