DIGGING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
PRACTICE STATEMENT:
The one-call centre reminds ground disturbers who
are digging on private property to advise the centre if they are aware of any
private lines situated on the property. It is the responsibility of the property
owner to ensure its private lines are located before digging.
PRACTICE DESCRIPTION:
The one-call centre issues a reminder to ground
disturbers who are digging on private property to make the centre aware of any
private lines that exist on the property. The centre will also advise that the
ground disturber is responsible for ensuring any private lines on the property
are located prior to excavation. The centre will note this information in the
“remarks” section of the notification to members. When there is knowledge of
private lines buried within the area of the excavation site, the affected member
may then work with the ground disturber to take whatever action is necessary.
