Verizon’s contractor S & N Communications trenched on our private property without our consent

And they repaired their mistake.

The map they are working from I was shown was inaccurate including showing a driveway where a 150 year old live oak sits in our yard. They were given approval yesterday about where the Right of Way [ROW] is – but if you know our property, with the circa 1950 brick wall, they were clearly in our yard. No need to go into further details as they repaired it and used “the missile” to drive 2 conduits & their FIOS line in the ROW instead of in our yard. Fortunately I was home, and fortunately the Foreman corrected their error after spending some time with the crew.

Point is – you might not want to assume you know where they are going to trench to install the new cables even after the lines are spray painted on the ground.

The info on the orange door tag is 1.800.757.6842 for S & N Communications, http://www.Verizon.com/Virginia.
On the larger white door tag entitled “Coming Soon to Your Neighborhood” it offers 1.888.250.9710 and http://www.Verizon.com/countdown1.

I did not call either number, but I did take plenty of photos and documented everything with date/time/etc. For our section, Verizon’s permit number is #VZ09092.
