CALL MISS DIG What are all those colored flags for? We’ve all seen those colored flags sticking in the ground. They’re placed by locating crews in order to mark the position of underground utilities so that repair or construction operations on one service don’t interfere with others. Here’s a guide so you know what each different color means: RED – Electric Power Lines, Cables, Conduit and Lighting Cables ORANGE – Communications, Cable TV, Alarm or Signal Lines YELLOW – Natural Gas, Petroleum BLUE – Water, or Irrigation Lines GREEN – Sewers and Drain Lines PINK – Temporary Survey Markings WHITE – Proposed Excavations
Flags frequently supplement color-coded surface markings on curbs or lawns made with paint or chalk to indicate the location and route of buried lines. Call Miss Dig 3 working days before you dig or work near overhead electric wires. 1-800-482-7171 |
