R What is the address of the dig site? We require one of the following: a A posted address, or directions from the nearest posted address. In Salt Lake county, we also require a grid coordinate for any address e. Is there a subdivision name or lot number? If you have this information, it may help the utilities find the location. We will not accept a lot number as the only address, except for rare subdivisions that do not use regular addresses.
Which side of the street is the property on? This helps the locators to find the site. There are millions of miles of buried utilities just under the ground surface that are vital to everyday living. If you decide to dig without mapping out the utilities on your property you could cut utility lines like water, electricity, and natural gas. The utilities you could damage could also be your responsibility. So why not call ? Especially when calling Blue Stakes of Utah is free to you!

No matter what type of utility it is, you are also required to call the owner or operator of the utility. Telephone numbers are listed under Emergency Contacts on this web site. Call to document the incident and if you have questions about the location of the marks at your dig site. Never allow any utility strike go unreported, even if the damage seems very minor.
Over time, even minor damage can compromise the integrity of the line, cable or pipe and lead to a serious problem later. Also, never try to repair the damage yourself. Is this an error? A : No, it is correct. In many cases utility lines and pipelines were installed long before existing homes and businesses were constructed.
You might even see two of the same type of utility — such as two different cable TV or electricity providers — even though you do business with only one of them. Regardless, be sure that percent of the utilities listed on your ticket have responded before you begin to dig! A : There is no difference under Arizona law.

This service is free of charge to excavators and homeowners and is funded by member utility companies. Blue Stakes actively supports the national "Dig Safely" campaign and encourages all excavators and homeowners to call before they dig, wait the required amount of time, respect the marks, and dig with care. Damage prevention is a shared responsibility between excavators, utility owners, locators, and the one-call center in avoiding personal injury, minimizing utility service interruptions and avoiding damage to property and equipment.
Sandy Suburban Improvement District is a member of Blue Stakes of Utah and supports the center by marking the District's lines and manholes with green paint in roadways and green flags in lots.
