Calling 811 provides a free service to mark public utility lines up to the meter, but it does not cover privately installed lines on a property, which are the owner's responsibility. Private utility locators use technology like GPR and EM induction to find private lines such as electrical lines to pools, water and sewer laterals, irrigation systems, underground storage tanks, telecommunications conduits, and other buried features. These services are essential for homeowners, plumbers, electricians, general contractors, and drilling companies.
Private Utilities are the buried lines after the meter or main lines. If you have a curbside meter then your property will not get marked by the participating member utility locators. Other buried utilities that generally are not marked include but may not be limited to: sewer lines, private lighting, sprinklers, fire mains, secondary electric lines to detached garages, and septic lines.
No. There will be a service fee for a private locate. The utilites are owned by you and its the owners responsibility to cover the cost to protect private undergound lines.
