Construction crew hits underground fiber line, causes outage of 'call
before you dig' hotline
Through the 811 hotline you can call to have utility lines marked before

DENVER — It looks like someone may have forgotten to call before they
started digging and now others are unable to do so due to an outage of the
Colorado 811 hotline caused by a busted fiber line.
