KNOW WHAT’S BELOW
Some underground utilities on your property will NOT be marked by Indiana 811 members because they are not owned by Indiana 811 members. These may include propane gas lines, an electric or water line to your pool, lines to septic tanks, electric lines to sheds or landscape lighting, lawn sprinkler systems and more.
Here’s one general rule: if the utility runs from the street to the meter, it will be marked. If the utility is installed from the meter to another location on your property, it will not be marked.
PRIVATE LOCATES
ANY UNDERGROUND PIPES CONNECTING A SWIMMING PUMP/FILTER TO A POOL WOULD REQUIRE A PRIVATE LOCATE, AS THOSE PIPES ARE INSTALLED BEYOND THE METER ON THE PROPERTY.
THE SPRINKLERS ARE AFTER THE WATER METER, MAKING THEM A PRIVATE LOCATE.
THE HOMEOWNER’S LIGHTING IS AFTER THE ELECTRIC METER, MAKING IT A PRIVATE LOCATE.
PUBLIC LOCATES
A COMMUNICATIONS UTILITY MEMBER WILL MARK ALL LINES FROM THE STREET TO THE CABLE BOX.
THE STREET LIGHTS ARE TYPICALLY OWNED BY A MUNICIPALITY OR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, MAKING THEM PUBLIC UTILITIES.
THE PUBLIC GAS LINE EXTENDS FROM THE MAIN GAS LINE TO THE METER. A DEDICATED LINE TO AN OUTDOOR GRILL OR FIRE PIT, WHILE NOT SHOWN ABOVE, ARE EXAMPLES OF PRIVATELY OWNED GAS UTILITIES.
ELECTRIC LINES COMING IN FROM THE ROAD TO THE POWER METER ARE PUBLIC UTILITIES.
WATER LINES COMING IN FROM THE ROAD TO THE WATER METER ARE PUBLIC UTILITIES.
If you think you might have a private utility on your property, you should contact a private utility locator company to locate any additional privately-owned utilities before you dig.
