Fiber installation cut underground dog fence
I recently switched to AT&T Fiber, against my better judgment. The install went well and then lost service. The technician came out the next day and was outstanding! THEN...I spent a while on the phone and chat trying to make sure that the contractor coming to bury the line would contact me before the digging, because I have an underground electric dog fence. The next call I got was from my son saying they had cut the line, and it was cut in two places. It took me two days of digging and splicing to repair the fence. Obviously the message did not get delivered.

The installers cut my invisible fence when I was on vacation this week. I finally got through to the right department. He told me ATT was not responsible for the damage because they were digging in the easement and the wire shouldn’t have been there or should have been marked. They cut it in the summer install and did repair it same day but I was home to alert them.
He did submit a damage claim so I’ll see what happens.

The BWC isn't going to help either situation. I don't see any issues regarding the AT&T fiber line and that's where their responsibility ends.

811 marks utilities, not invisible fences or sprinklers... you are responsible for marking the these areas, generally using white paint or flags that you purchase.
