For Residents (Private Property):

Why is a Line Locate needed?

There are millions of miles of buried utilities that are vital to everyday living like water, electricity, and natural gas. Accidentally hitting one of these lines can lead to major problems throughout the community, and cost you the great expense, so always request a line locate through 811 prior to digging and for city infrastructure at the links above.

When can I dig?

Wait until crews have marked their lines before you begin to dig. Within a few days of your call, crews will mark their lines with paint or flags. Depths of the utility lines may vary so be careful when working near those areas.

Now What?

Once the area is clearly marked, you may begin to work - carefully!- around the marks. Do not dig directly on the marks. Many factors can shift utility lines between digs, so make sure you request line locates before you dig.
