We’re starting a spec home build on a vacant lot that used to be farmland. Sent in the 811 ticket and every utility responded with some version of no known facilities in the area. That sounded good until we started rough grading and uncovered an old water line from a farmhouse that apparently hasn’t existed in years. Now I’m second-guessing how much confidence to put in a fully clear ticket on rural property. For those managing projects on old farm or vacant land, do you usually trust the call before you dig software responses, or do you assume there could still be abandoned stuff underground and pothole anyway? submitted by /u/SeaworthinessFit9620 [link] [comments]
