This page contains information about utility locating, including both public and private locating services. 

Public Utility Location

Prior to digging or performing soil borings, the public utility locator must be notified. Typically these services require 2 to 3 working days to complete their work.

Click here for specific information on who to call in your state to begin the process.

To begin the process, call the state specific One Call Center or file an on-line request to begin the process. You will have to provide information on where you're planning to dig, what type of work you will be doing and your affected local utilities companies will be notified about your intent to dig. Within two to three days depending on the state, they'll send a locator to mark the approximate location of your underground lines, pipes and cables, so you'll know what's below - and be able to dig safely.

Private Facilities

Private facilities are lines that were installed after the meter and are considered customer-owned. Operators of underground facilities only locate the buried facilities that they operate and/or maintain.

Water and sewer companies locate main water lines in easements and rights-of-way and lines to a water meter, but may not locate the water facilities from a meter to a home or sewer laterals. Electric companies usually locate their lines to homes and businesses, but not those running to swimming pool pumps and heaters, irrigation systems or another building on the property.
