Low voltage stuff I understand, simply because there's such a vast network of it.
Major high-voltage transmission? Like, oopsie, we forgot about a 115kV line? That's concerning, especially if it is still in use. Disused stuff that was forgotten about I could see.
Does Manitoba have something like
Ontario One Call?
I think the province mandates that all underground utility providers have a central database of stuff, so people won't dig into stuff accidentally.
