Sounds like a "call before you dig" issue. If a utility need to digs to lay or fix any underground wires or pipes, they are supposed to use issue notification.
Other affected utilities then are required to mark the location of their underground infrastructure. This way one utility doesn't accidently dig into another utility's wires or pipes and cause a leak.
