sorry, rereading my sentence makes it clear I was unclear. let me try again.
I'm not sure who is paying, I am sure *I'm* not paying. The best I could determine is that the gas installers are paying since they're the ones doing the horizontal/blind drilling and they would be the ones who are paying for the inspection. the inspection is after the fact, since the drilling was done. I asked why this is even needed (besides the obvious, I don't want intersecting gas and sewer lines) and he told me that the surveys in this area (it's an old neighborhood) are unreliable. Perhaps the sewer line is where the plans say it is, maybe it's not. Maybe there's a NEW sewer line that's been installed but not recorded properly or at all with the city. The point is, they can't be sure, and apparently they can't tell when they're drilling--ooops, that felt like a sewer line--so they check after the fact.
