Thank you for reporting your service request to Huntsville Utilities. Our Electric Operations crews were not able to identify any exposed wires in this area. All of our primary electric lines are aerial (above ground attached to poles), and we do not have any underground cables in this area. We are closing your request. If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thank you,

Then, who *does* have underground cables in this area? It certainly looks like a loop of fat, black cable in the grass in the foreground of the picture... Is it just some trash/debris in the ditch??
