private underground pipes and cables may not be owned or maintained by member utility companies, therefore they are unable to locate them.
Newer (at least 1978 or later) construction has a tracer wire buried with the utility which makes it easy to trace. Once it hits the end of the utility service, likely no tracker wire which makes it harder to trace. And then copper/galvanized pipe, electrical wires are easier to trace w/o a tracer wire.
