Actually, they are only two or three feet in the ground and clearly marked and easily accessible at just about any construction site.

My brother did utility locating in the 90s. Back then, a simple fiber cut cost a minimum of $17k to repair a line serving a residential neighborhood. It's cheaper now, I believe, because they can heal the line somehow.
