A few years ago the city was running fiber for their internal network. They were directional boring under the street in the oldest part of town (circa 1880s mining town). They drilled right through a clay sewer pipe that was't on any maps and, since it was clay, didn't show up during the locate.

They ended up having to dig up the street anyway to fix it.
