Not sure if I fully believe the article. Responding to a fiber cut in

I suppose it's possible if $TLA had people monitoring the
construction from
across the street, and they were in communication with the NOC.
Dig Safe, Miss Utility, etc. notify potential dig impacted entities
when
activity is occurring around their assets and coordinate the marking
of the
utilities and start of construction in proximity to the targeted dig
zone.
This is why calling the state utility locator services is the law
(everywhere that I'm aware of). The government isn't exempt from these
notifications FWIW. The programs may have a slight tweak in the
national
capitol area.

This is something that is placed on your service when it's ordered and
alters the design and engineering of the services.
