Ahh, over there in Sparkle California..
i hope this doesn’t affect bart in anyway
I wonder what the bill to the contractor is? I’m sure they’re heavily insured for these events.
Don’t care out of town haha
This is right by my house, and it’s pretty smelly out there.
if you ever have to do any digging call the usa underground locator service
1-800-642-2444. its free, all the utilitys in your area will come out and mark to prevent you from killing your self. even if your digging post holes for a fence its worth the call, theres electric and gas lines everywhere.
I live right there, but haven’t seen or smelled anything this morning.
It looks like PGE hadn’t marked the main correctly… oops, no charge to the contractor, it’s on them.
Sorry.
I had Thai for lunch.
