How do you accidentally hit a petroleum pipeline?! Those lines are required by law to get mapped out and marked before any ground excavating for a reason. I’d check the qualifications of these “workers,” because it doesn’t sound like they were trained to be doing any sort of digging in a major city.

The company did not check before they started to dig my primo works for that company

What’s all these “spills” all of sudden happening?
