Kansas Corp. Commission Fines AT&T $60,000 for Failing to Provide Locates

The Kansas Corporation Commission fined AT&T $60,000 Wednesday for failing to identify locations of its underground facilities. Kansas law requires excavators to give at least two days' notice before digging, and then utilities have two days to mark underground lines. The fine noted 60 separate occasions between April and May 2024 in which AT&T failed to provide excavators with locations of buried facilities.
