I have been in the underground utility industry since 1990. Used to be there was an 18" leeway either side of the locate for a margin of error.

These days it is 3' either side and even if it is outside that 3' and you hit it, there will be a fight over who's fault it is.

What's worse is when you are trying to locate by hand and its way of or not even there. I've had guys dig a whole day only to find out what we were looking for wasnt there at all.

I was in a training school when I worked for Entex back in the 90's. There was a trade magazine there that had a bold head line on the cover saying " The world's only 100% accurate line locater ".

I opened the magazine up to see this locater and it was a picture of a backhoe.
