Electricians? Found a buried plastic bottle with liquid, attached to electrical wires.

Posted on 06/10/2015 6:02:04 PM PDT by Toespi

Very weird. We were doing some yard work this evening and hit something, as we dug further we found an old clear plastic bottle with liquid in it. We tried to dig it out and it wouldn't budge, as we went further we realized it was attached to two electrical wires in the ground.. Any idea what this could be?

A grease catch from an old grill?

I can’t think of any reasons why you would purposely attach a container of liquid to an electrical system underground.

Don’t touch it, just in case there’s current running through it. It’s probably a wire connection. The bottle of liquid or whatever could be a dialectric, insulator and/or corrosion inhibitor.

...just called the electric company

Why do I have visions of a SWAT team descending on your home and a bomb squad coming in to blow up the bottle, your car and house. TV news crews all over the place reporting on a terrorist WMD cache.

I agree that it could be a connection. Someone might have used a plastic bottle to waterproof the connection underground. Albeit a lousy job.
