Call 811 before every digging job to have the underground utility lines marked for free. Whether you are a homeowner or a professional contractor, be smart and call 811 before each job.
Each color marking represents a utility type:
| RED | | | Electric |
| ORANGE | | | Communications: Phone, Cable TV |
| BLUE | | | Potable Water |
| GREEN | | | Sewer/Drainage |
| YELLOW | | | Gas or Petroleum Pipe Line |
| PURPLE | | | Reclaimed Water |
| WHITE | | | Premark Site of intended excavation |
The depth of utility lines vary and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area.
Homeowners often decide they don't need to call before digging, but every digging job requires a call – even small projects like planting trees and shrubs.
Digging without calling can disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, cause injuries and could potentially result in fines and repair costs.
