Forty-eight (48) hours’ notice (excluding weekends and holidays) is requested to permit our locators to mark our facilities for you.  ONE CALL answering service is available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week.  All calls are recorded.

(EMERGENCY LINE LOCATES ARE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES.)

Subparagraph 655 {Part N, 2, (b)} of State of Washington “Safety Standards for Construction Work” (WAC 296-155) states, “Utility companies or owners shall be contacted within established or customary local response times, advised of the proposed work, and asked to locate the underground utility installation prior to the start of actual excavation.”

Callers are asked to use white paint to show their proposed path of excavation.  Each locator uses a different color of paint to show their underground facility.  Digging should be done by hand 18″ on either side of marking until utility is visible, before using other equipment.
