See paint or flags on your property? Those markings identify the location of underground utilities and are there to help keep everyone safe while digging. You may notice utility markings on your property because a homeowner, contractor, municipality, or utility company has requested locates before planned excavation work. Even if you did not request the locate yourself, the markings play an important role in helping prevent damage to underground infrastructure. Moving, removing, or disturbing utility markings can increase the risk of striking buried utilities, leading to service outages, costly repairs, project delays, environmental impacts, or serious injuries. For your safety and your neighbours' safety, please leave all locate markings in place until the work is complete. Request your locate at OntarioOneCall.ca. Click Before You Dig.
