Utility location is the process of identifying and labeling public utility mains which are underground. These mains may include lines for telephones, electricity distribution, natural gas, cable television, fiber optics, traffic lights, street lights, storm drains, water mains, and wastewater pipes. In some locations, major oil

and gas pipelines, national defense communication lines, mass transit, rail, and road tunnels also compete for space underground. For EMERGENCY locate requests, call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CALL BEFORE YOU DIG, EVERY DIG.

Heavy rain or flooding can be treacherous to excavation projects. It can erode ground cover, move soil, reveal or stress pipelines, and standing water can also hamper work efforts and impede recovery and repairs.

Whether you're digging, trenching, or just doing a DIY project, always contact 811 before you dig to stay safe, and file another ticket to have utilities remarked after major weather events. It could prevent a serious incident.

Did you know that an 811 ticket only results in public utility lines being marked? That means water, gas, sewer, and telecom lines running from the street to your home or business are covered—but privately installed lines are not.

Private lines may include:
- Underground sprinkler systems
- Propane or private gas lines
- Landscape lighting wiring
- Invisible pet fences

If you’re digging near private utilities, you’ll need to hire a private utility locator to ensure everything is marked before you break ground. Taking this extra step helps prevent costly damage and ensures a safer worksite.
