When I was 18, I was out on my former bosses "ranch", actually a small place outside town to keep his horses and a few cows. I was digging a water line from the well to a small tank. It was rocky so I had to use a pickaxe and s then shovel out the rock and dirt. Well, I hit a six inch oil line that crossed his property that he, nor I was aware of. It was not under a lot of pressure, but before they could get the line shut down upstream, you cannot imagine how much oil came out of that line. Moral of the story is that no matter what happens, oil spills WILL happen. Someone's fault or no one's fault, it happens Like I've been saying to Dave, you need to raise your expectations. Maps are made to denote where oil lines, electric wires, water pipes etc are located on a property. A good company makes those maps and then checks them when digging.
