Damage to buried utility lines costs Utah an estimated $93.1 million a year, or more than $255,000 a day, according to a Common Ground Alliance report released Tuesday.

Utah averages 884 damages to underground power, water, internet, natural gas and other lines each year, the alliance says.

For every dollar spent on direct repairs, the report estimates nearly $9 in losses from outages, business interruptions, property damage and injuries.

The annual cost nearly equals the original $93 million price tag of the Delta Center, according to the report.
