Getting your garden ready, planting trees or installing a new fence or deck is exciting! But do you know what’s below the surface of your lawn?
That’s why it’s important for you or your contractor to request a locate. An underground locate will determine if and where utility lines and infrastructure exist on your property. Plan ahead to avoid power loss, damage liability and personal injury.
- Visit OntarioOneCall.ca or call 1-800-400-2255 to request your free locate. To help you plan your work, contact Ontario One Call a minimum of five business days ’prior to digging’.
- A service representative will clearly mark where the underground infrastructure runs through your dig area and will provide a locate sheet that includes a diagram of what has been located.
- If markings are not required, you will still receive a response from the utility to indicate that your work area is clear. Do not dig until you have received all responses.
- Follow any additional digging instructions outlined by each utility on your locate.
- You’re all set! Channel your inner gopher and start digging safely!
