The snow is still on the ground but spring is around the corner. Blue Stakes of Utah 811 wants to remind homeowners, professional excavators, and everyone in between that before you dig, locate the utility lines. To aid in the process, there is an online form for simple requests at
www.bluestakes.org
. You will need to have a valid e-mail address to receive a number that validates your request. The actual party that is doing the excavation needs to create a Locate Request in their name with an exact address of the property. The area that is to be marked must be accessible (meaning free from animals and locked gates) for two business days after you receive your location request. If there is additional needs, call
811
. If you cannot comply with ALL requirements call
811
and if your request does not meet all requirements it will be voided. Reduce the chance of causing damage to less than 1% when you call
811
before digging.
