3. Is there a charge for having the<br />
utilities marked<br />
No. Underground utilities in public owned<br />
right-of-way <strong>and</strong> easements are marked free<br />
of charge. However, the utilities will only<br />
mark the lines up to their own meters.<br />
Underground lines beyond the meter or<br />
service entrance belong to the property<br />
owner, <strong>and</strong> are that person's responsibility.<br />
There are many locator services that can<br />
mark privately owned lines. The One-Call<br />
center can refer you to a private locator in<br />
your area.<br />
However, the owner of the underground<br />
facility shall have the right to receive<br />
compensation for costs incurred in<br />
responding to excavation notices given less<br />
than two business days prior to the<br />
excavation from the excavator.<br />
