§ 1805S.5. Location and Protection of Utilities  


Latest version.
  • The Owner/Developer and the Contractor are solely responsible for the location and protection of any and all public utility lines and utility customer service lines in the work area. The Contractor shall exercise due care to locate, mark, uncover or otherwise protect all such lines in the work area.

    Neither the Owner/Developer nor the Contractor shall begin work in the area until the One-Call Center has been notified, a One-Call Notification Number issued and the Owner and/or the Contractor can assure that the locations of all lines and utilities are marked.

    Upon request, the utility owners shall provide information on the location and grade of water, wastewater, gas, storm sewer, and telephone and electric lines and other utilities in the work area. The availability of such information, however, shall not relieve the Owner/Developer or the Contractor of the obligations hereunder, which shall be primary and non-delegatable. Any such lines damaged by Contractor's operations shall be immediately repaired by the Contractor upon the concurrence of the repair of the utility; or the Owner/Developer shall cause such damage to be repaired at the Contractor's expense.
