It is common practice that in any civil engineering project that the inspector or project manager marks up the blueprints to reflect the installation as it was actually done. Have read many anecdotes here about the town in question and am unsure that "understanding" is even a thing up there. But yeah, you always call for a Sunshine 811 spot before you dig. Then the utility paints or flags everything underground that they understand that they own. In the end the failures get paid for by the taxpayer. D.H.Green.
