Whenever I've had construction work done, there is some service that
comes out ahead of time and marks the utility lines. They only mark
the public lines and not any private ones, but they certainly have the
technology and maybe, for a price, would mark private lines.


UFPOs don't actually mark the lines. They mark where the lines are
supposed to me, based on mapping. They are supposed to be accurate to
4' +/-
