Bought an old house, need to get blueprints so I can find out where
all the water pipes are (slab on grade). Call county building
department (sacramento, ca), number on counties own web site
disconnected. Call county information line and get a number. Call it
and told to call a different agency. Call different agency, given
original number that is disconnected. Tell them number is
disconnected, given number for county information. Tell them I called
them, they gave me a number and people at that number refered me to
your department. They tell me I need to call number that just refered
me. Call that number back and tell them that I am getting the run
around, the lady could care less. She puts me through to some dipwads
voice mail who is out of the office untill the end of next week. I
swear to god you could not make this stuff up! I think you must have
to pass some stupidity test to work for some of these government
agencys!

It would be a very slim chance that they'd have a copy of plans anyway. If
you can find the original builder or architect you may have a slim chance.
I don't know of any towns that save plans for any length of time. Even if
you find the plans pipe locations may have changed when installed anyway.
Plumbers are more interested in getting from A to B and don't care a few
inches either way along the route, nor does the building inspector.

Try a metal detector.
