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.
