[QUOTE="O4L, post: 3606825, member: 24429"] Yep. Unfortunately I once had a job marking underground utilities for about a year and a half. That's a conduit run with either phone or cable TV fiber optic. Orange for communications Yellow for natural gas Red for electric With the double line like that the digger is liable for any damage to utilities between the lines plus one foot on either side. With a single line mark it is one foot on either side of the line. Whomever puts down the marks is liable for the damage outside of those parameters whether it's the utility company or a contracted locating service like the one I worked for. I was responsible for marking up to five different utilities for the entire county and other areas occasionally. Some of those utilities were a real PIA to locate. [/QUOTE]
