I think i have seen everything now.The verizon guys barried my new fiber optic today.In order to locate the line they run a 3 pair phone wire with it.The phone line does not get hooked to anything.It must be cheaper than magnetic tape :roll:

Re: verizon fios

They ran the phone wire so an underground locater could find the non metallic fiber later if they need to.

In my area the gas company buries a 10 or 8 solid on top of plastic gas lines as a way to locate the line later.

Re: verizon fios

the gas company here has the trace wire built into the plastic line. and they bring it up at specified points so thay can hook a tracer up to it later.
 
Re: verizon fios

I understand the #10 for gas also seen that for major water lines .But why would verizon simply not use magnetic tape.We are only talking 6 to 12 inches deep.Today was there 3rd time to run this line.They also earned a bill from the cable company for a new line.Perhaps they just have several miles of unneeded phone line.New system provides internet,phone,and soon tv.
