Posts, trees, drainage features, and landscape work can reach into areas crossed by private lines.
For homeowners
Plan your property project with a clearer view below.
Private utilities can run through yards, driveways, and spaces between structures. Mark It Private Locating helps homeowners investigate what may be in the planned work area.
Project planning
A familiar yard can still hold hidden infrastructure.
A standard 811 request coordinates markings from participating utility owners, but owner-installed or property-controlled lines may extend beyond those markings.
Private locating can help when planned work could intersect electric, water, sewer, irrigation, propane, communications, or other lines serving features on the property.
Standard markings may not show every private line.
The 811 process coordinates participating utility owners, while property-owned infrastructure may require a private utility locate.
Common project contexts
Useful before projects that disturb the ground.
These are common reasons to consider private utility locating; the property and work area help determine what should be investigated.
Outdoor improvements
Pools, decks, sheds, detached garages, and driveway work can change how a property is used and excavated.
Trenching & repairs
Electrical, water, sewer, communications, or drainage work can benefit from added awareness of existing private infrastructure.
