Miss Utility

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and firework-filled Fourth of July!

If your summer plans include any digging, remember to file a locate request first and wait for the utility markings.

Enjoy your Independence Day from all of us at 811!

Know your colors!

Utility markings follow a standardized color code to identify different types of underground utilities. For example, red indicates electric power lines, yellow marks natural gas, oil, or petroleum, and blue shows potable water lines.

Understanding these colors helps you dig safely and avoid damaging essential services.
