What Causes Utility Line Disruptions?
Maintenance Delays
One of the most common causes of utility disruptions is maintenance delays. When a utility company fails to keep up with regular maintenance, it can lead to system failures and power outages. Regular maintenance is important for keeping utility systems in good working order, so it’s important for companies to stay on top of this task.
Construction Incident
Another potential cause of utility disruptions is a construction incident. During large construction projects, it’s possible for utility lines to be damaged, which can lead to power outages and other issues. In order to avoid these issues, construction crews need to be aware of the location of utility lines and take extra care when working around them.
Excavation
Excavation is another potential cause of utility disruptions. If an excavation project is not properly planned, it’s possible to damage utility lines and cause power outages and other issues. Before beginning an excavation project, it’s important to contact your local utility company and make sure all of the necessary safety precautions are in place.
Dangers of Damaged Utility Lines
If a utility line is damaged, it can lead to power outages, water shortages, and other issues. Additionally, there is risk of severe personal injury for workers involved in a utility damage incident. These can have serious repercussions for workers, such as exposure to hazardous liquids or electrocution.To prevent utility line damage, it’s important to be aware of the location of utility lines and to avoid digging or placing heavy objects near them.
