Dude just because you have plats of the land doesn't mean that you couldn't potentially hit something. The engineers at NOVEC that I used to work with were constantly revising branch line plans, distribution boxes, etc even up to the last minute....and then of course with the nature of construction sometimes changes had to be made out in the field due to unexpected problems.
I don't think it costs you anything to get them marked, just call them next time. I was digging around on their site and check out the fines if you hit an underground line!
"Penalties for Violating the Miss Utility Laws: Actual repair costs, and civil penalties up to $2,500 per violation as well as up to three times the actual repair cost of the damaged utilities, plus punitive damages up to $10,000 per incident."
