Private Utility Locating in Northern Colorado

We find the underground lines that 811 does not mark, so the project can move forward without a surprise in the trench.

What 811 does NOT mark

Private lines on the property

What this locate covers

Those private lines, marked before you dig

811 Covers the Public Lines. Private Lines Are Still Your Job.

An 811 ticket gets public utilities marked near the dig. Lines on the property are not part of that ticket. If one of those is hit, the delay and the repair sit with the project.

What You Leave With

A technician traces the lines from the surface with electromagnetic locating. Nothing has to be dug up to find them. The lines covered are electric, gas, water, irrigation, telecom, and sewer laterals.

Surface marks

Lines are marked on the ground in the standard utility colors, so the crew can see the route before the excavator starts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

It is finding and marking the underground lines on private property that 811 does not cover, like secondary electric, irrigation, sewer laterals, and low-voltage lines. A technician traces them from the surface with electromagnetic locating equipment and marks them on the ground before you dig.

811 marks the public utility lines. Lines that sit on private property, past the point the utility owns, are not part of the 811 ticket, so they stay unmarked unless a private locator finds them.

We serve Northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Windsor, and Longmont, plus Weld, Larimer, and Boulder counties.
