Cable Locating - Call Before You Dig

Hitting a buried power line is a hazard to your safety, the safety of others, and the integrity of the utility systems.  Please call for cable locates before you dig.  For CVEA line locates, call 822-3211 or 835-4301

Please Read Before You Dig

For your safety and the protection of the underground facilities, your local utilities require you to hand-dig within two feet of any locate marks . If you unearth any utility underground cables, please call the utility immediately. Keep yourself and others away from the exposed cable site.

This drawing is an example of utility facility markings that may be located on or near your property. At some locations the "locate marks" may be side-by-side for cablevision (purple), electric (red), and telephone (orange). Before you begin digging, please walk your property to ensure you are aware of all the underground utility locations.

If you do not find locate marks for one or more of the utilities, please contact that office before you begin digging. All of your local utilities wish to provide the best service possible; however, crews may have been called away before your locate was completed. To ensure your safety, please call if you don't see the appropriate color locate markings.

Be sure to notify the utilities before you begin digging! Hand dig within two feet of any locate marks! 

NOTICE: Any damage done to City, electric, telephone, or television underground facilities is the responsibility of the person or company doing the excavation work.
