IF YOU HAVE HIT A LINE…

For your safety, you should walk away immediately and take steps to clear the area to protect yourself and your crew. Do not try to repair or stop a leak yourself or use anything that might create a spark, such as a cell phone.

If a substance starts releasing into the air, such as natural gas, immediately call 9-1-1. For any damaged facility, you should also contact the utility company listed on the nearest marker as well as OHIO811, even if there appears to be no damage. Not all facility damages can be detected by the naked eye.

Please note privately installed lines may not be marked by our members and would be the owners’ responsibility to mark.

It is the utility companies who determine where public utility lines end and private utility lines begin. The Facility Owners responsibility for public line maintenance typically ends at the meter, ground transformer, and shutoff valve or termination box. Beyond those demarcation points, utility service lines are considered to be privately owned and as such it is the property owners’ responsibility to have them marked as necessary.

How do I get those marked you ask: You can find a listing of registered Contract Locators below.
