Marked on Your Property?
If underground utility lines are not marked on your property, additional private utility locating may be necessary before excavation begins. Public utility markings do not always identify privately owned lines, such as electrical connections to detached buildings, underground water pipes, septic lines, or outdoor lighting circuits. These utilities may also be missing from property records, particularly when modifications were made by previous owners. Private utility locating uses specialized detection equipment to identify and mark underground lines that may not be covered by the initial utility marking request. Before digging, property owners should contact 811 and arrange any additional private locating needed for the work area. Identifying unmarked utilities helps reduce the risk of accidental damage, service interruptions, and unexpected excavation delays.
