You call the utility companies beforehand!!
Just to clarify...

They will only do the utility side of the meter (gas, electric, whatever). If the line is on the customer side of the meter, then the property owner is responsible for the locating.

The article gives no clue as to what side was punctured...utility or customer.
To further clarify - Calling "the utilities" for a matter such as this one isn't the solution. No one will come out and check anything for cable-related matters other than the cable co. And if your cable co. tech is an idiot, then you're SOL-JWF just like the 2 dead people in the article. Cable connectivity is not considered a utility by the law.

Calling the 'underground service alert' line for your area will notify ALL of the 'utilities'...cable company included.

Google 'utility notification dig' or look in the front of your phone book or call any utility.

Easy!
