Utility location is the process of identifying and labeling public utility mains which are underground. These mains may include lines for telephones, electricity distribution, natural gas, cable television, fiber optics, traffic lights, street lights, storm drains, water mains, and wastewater pipes. In some locations, major oil

and gas pipelines, national defense communication lines, mass transit, rail, and road tunnels also compete for space underground. For EMERGENCY locate requests, call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CALL BEFORE YOU DIG, EVERY DIG.

Every good adventure has a guide.

When you're digging, utility flags and paint help lead the way by showing the approximate location of underground utilities.

Before you break ground, take a moment to closely observe the markings left by utility locators—they're there to help you avoid costly and dangerous utility strikes.

The safest path is the one that's clearly marked.

After the fight for equal voting rights in the early 19th century, the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, giving women the right to vote. This revolutionary decision is recognized on August 26— Women's Equality Day.

Today women are represented in the military, in space, as CEOs and they hold pivotal roles in the damage prevention industry. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Women's Equality Day:
