811 only works for municipal side of utilities. Not for private side of utilities.
Power to the meter. Anything after that is private
Water to the meter. Anything after that is private
Sewer stub up from main “aka house connection” everything after that is private
Regardless, contractor damaging line is responsible for repairs

Contractors are stupid sometimes.
Years ago when I was working for a commercial GC I had a little concrete company my boss loved. The guy did shoddy work on anything aside from sidewalks. Had him pour a 6’ elevated handicapped ramp. His forms gave out on the vertical wall and the top was about 3’ wider than the bottom. Looked like shite. Had to tear it all out and redo it.
Dude sends me a bill for both pours. I called him and told him I wasn’t paying the first invoice because he screwed it up and I had to have it redone.
He tells me “You pay me to pour concrete. I poured concrete.” I told him “No, I pay you to pour concrete correctly. You only did that once.”
The nerve of people right? Dude hounded me for months and then stopped. Never filed suit. We had a contract and we had a worksmanship clause in it. I knew we were clean. I paid him for the second pour and deducted the extra concrete I had to buy out of his payment. But that was one of those that’s always stuck with me.
