Utilities seems a bit vague to me. Over here water, gas, telephony and
sewage are always underground, mostly under the sidewalk and sewage under
the street. Electricity usually is, except in rural areas.
Cable distribution follows the 'façades' of the houses and then there is
the cable of the street lights which does the same in my street.

If we're going to be mapping all that, it may be interesting to indicate
whether sewage is already split in water that fell from the sky and actual
sewage...
