A number of years ago the company I work for erected a small building approximately 250' from the road. When the telephone line was run the local phone company direct buried the phone wire. This spring a woodchuck ate through their cable. Now it's going to cost them dearly to rebury the cable (it still hasn't been done). Had they ran the wire in a conduit, it probably wouldn't have been damaged, and it would be a lot less costly to pull in a new wire if it became necessary.
