When you notify OHIO811, utility owners and operators registered with OHIO811 that have potential utilities in the excavation area will be notified by OHIO 811. Each utility company will then identify and mark the buried lines that they own and operate and respond through the Positive Response System. (Some utility companies may hire a contract locating company to identify and mark their lines.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Service lines and private lines may not be located without contacting a private locating company. Learn more about private locating services by visiting: www.OHIO811.org/private-utility-locating/
