Laws on property easement utilization?
In the state of Florida, prior to the access of land by utilization of an easement, does the property owner have to be notified in advance?
With underground (buried) unities such as sewer and electric, cable etc. does a survey have to be taken to mark the location even that digging is not to be done?
If heavy equipment brought over ground containing buried infrastructure damages said infrastructure, is the entity utilizing the easement liable for damages.
Is failing to identify and avoid buried infrastructure willful negligence?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Types of notification are specified in the easement. As a courtesy utilities will try to notify you a few days in advance. But when something breaks, they have to move.
Florida is covered by the one call system. Everyone has to call, the tech comes out and identifies buried utilities. The tech can show up anytime, and may request you put your dog inside.
If the utility crew damages anything, they have to pay for it. If you have a cable to control your sprinkler system and they damage the cable, they have to fix it.

if there is an easement, it will show on the property records with the county.
the entity that brought in the heavy equipment is responsible
your supposed to contact the utilities to come out and mark their substructures if any work is going to be near them, whether that's where your going to work or not.
