Here they mark right up to the house for all utilities. But IDK if there
was buried property wiring if they would register it or mark it. I would
tend to think they might, just because how would they know for sure what
is there's and what is not? This must be a common issue that contractors
would know about. It's not just service from the street, but any other
buried wiring, gas, water, etc that could be where they are going to do
work.




Here is a wweb page that explains it.

is-not-an-option/


Basically anything that is past the meter to the house for electricity
or gas the home owner is responsiable for. That could be a propane tank
you have for heating or cooking that has a line under ground,
sprinklers,Wires to lammp posts or other buildings.

Same for phone and cable lines. They go to the junction box and any
user installed items past that are your problem.

Someone asked about Miss Utility. That is one of the names for the 811
service.

Because they miss more utilities than the find??
