Is it 5 or 6 times in the past month? Tis getting very tiresome, WE, and trying to find the causes is tighter than my lifetime Top Secret commitments. This after you dug up our village laying new cable a couple of years ago, and my right-of-way last year laying feeder and cutting my internet cable. During my career with another utility, I apparently wasted a decade attending your Cable Cut Committee meetings. For shame, for shame!
