and has had plant marked up in order to avoid cutting anything expensive.

Well that takes all the fun out of it.
They wouldn't be utility companies if OR didn't cut through a gas pipe, then Transco didn't cut through a water pipe (repairing their gas mains), then the water company didn't cut through an electricity cable (repairing their pipes) only to result in the electricity company cutting a phone cable.....(repeat).
