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