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.

The tolerance zone is an area that’s very close to where an underground utility pipe or cable is buried. This zone exists to ensure excavators are careful not to get too close to utilities, because even a small scrape could cause damage. Professional excavation workers and homeowners alike must use hand tools when they are digging in the tolerance zone. Learn more about the tolerance zone at our website.
