On Thursday, August 4, 2016, at 11:30 a.m., an employee was working outside, marking a new engineered path with flags for an underground service drop from the electrical pole to a relocated electric meter at a new residential construction site. As the employee was walking toward the electrical pole, the adjacent ground grading changed; it was partially graded and partially undisturbed natural landscape, creating an uneven walking surface.
