Electrical company flagging in yard, and water company

Prolly running fiber in your area.

I don't know. All the lots are 5-7 acres, seems inefficent, but I don't know..

someone has called in line locates and plans to dig in that area. you can generally go to the state onecall website and look up the ticket to see who it is, if you are interested....or you can just wait until Monday morning to see who shows up with a backhoe.

also, they can dig in the road/street easement without getting your permission, so go ahead and relax, if that is what you are thinking....

that is likely due to someone being lazy and saying something like "mark the entire front of the property" instead of being more specific in their instructions. I would not expect that anyone would dig that far into your yard without communicating to you first.

In a past life, I marked utilities. This was unfortunately the norm. Sometimes it's easier to say entire front of property to CYA in case of a cut so that the company won't be liable for any damages from unmarked lines. Sometimes they'll have you mark way past the proposed work on either side.
