Call 811 Before You Dig

Before any trenching work begins, it’s important to contact Call 811 to have underground utilities located and marked. This helps prevent damage to buried lines and ensures trenching can be completed safely and without unnecessary delays.

Utility lines such as water, sewer, gas, electric, and communication cables may exist below the surface—even if they are not visible. Calling 811 allows utility providers to mark these lines before digging starts.

In most trenching projects, John Smith Excavating coordinates the 811 notification process as part of proper job preparation. However, it is important that all excavation and trenching work follows 811 requirements before digging begins.

Do utilities need to be marked before trenching begins?

Yes. Underground utilities must be marked before trenching or excavation starts. Whether coordinated by the contractor or requested by the property owner, contacting 811 ensures utility locations are identified so trenching can be performed safely and accurately.

Understanding 811 Utility Marking Colors

When utilities are marked through Call 811, standardized color codes are used to identify different types of underground lines. These markings help excavation and trenching crews understand what is located below the surface before digging begins.

Each color represents a specific type of utility or reference marking. Recognizing these colors is an important part of safe excavation and trenching practices.

White — Proposed excavation area
Red — Electric power lines, cables, or conduits
Orange — Communication, telephone, cable TV, or fiber lines
Purple — Reclaimed water, irrigation, or slurry lines
Pink — Temporary survey markings
Yellow — Gas, oil, petroleum, or other flammable materials
Blue — Potable water systems
Green — Sanitary sewer and drain lines

Utility markings may appear as paint, flags, stakes, or a combination of indicators. Markings show the approximate location of underground utilities, and care should always be taken when working near these areas.

For the most current information and official guidelines, excavation projects should follow the standards provided by Arizona 811 before digging begins.
