I've had PG&E be off on the location of a gas main by 40 feet. We were skeptical of their location, so hired a private locater who found it before we did with our drill rig.

Another time, I was doing a geotech job for a large municipal water district. A guy from the water district came out to mark where we should drill so we wouldn't hit their pressurized 4-foot water main. We hit it dead center. Created a nice looking geyser and knocked out the water supply for an entire town for two days.
