    GRANTS PASS, Ore. -- Since Thursday of this month, the Grants Pass
    clinic suffered phone lines in the building being down. Over time, the
    clinic has had a difficult time getting in contact with its patients.

    "We understand that a line was cut in the ground but we don't know who
    cut it. But it seems to be due to some construction in the area," says
    Christi Siedlecki, CEO of Grants Pass Clinic. We didn't know about the
    cut line and the phones being down right away."

    "We understand that a line was cut in the ground but we don't know who

    One thing to consider is 811 works *only* if the telco sends out a
    locator when requested.

    In a WA state job last year, I found that the PoCo and Comcast did do
    their locates, but we never heard from CenturyLink.

    The excavator located their cable and avoided it but it's the utility's
    job to do their half.
