Massive water problems led to one disaster after another. 4 k video pt 2 of 2

What happens here

The presenter shows a shallow trench where Comcast cables were buried just under the grass. To avoid damaging these utility lines during the extensive scraping and regrading process, the cables were carefully pulled up and temporarily relocated. This step ensures that essential services remain uninterrupted and prevents costly repairs. The presenter emphasizes that utility lines, especially communication cables, are often buried superficially and require careful handling.

Goal: Relocate and protect underground utility lines (Comcast cable) prior to grading activities.

[Music] alright so the back of where we're working here they had Comcast cable running all the way down and around the around the side down the hill over there and then you know Comcast the their cables aren't very deep usually just right under the grass so we had to pull that up move it out of the side because we're gonna be scraping all this up and you know you don't want to snag it because people get angry when they don't have their internet with the water
