🏠 Homeowners, property owners, renters and leasers!

👀 What happens after I submit my locate request?

🤓 When you submit a ticket with OKIE811, the information you provide on the ticket is sent to the utility owners in the area you plan to dig. The utility owners send a locator to scan the ground for utilities and mark them with the corresponding colors. Utility owners and locators also send Positive Response. This is like a text back on your ticket with information from them!

📲Before digging, check to make sure that you have Positive Response from all utilities listed on your ticket, and wait until the official date and time on your ticket to dig.

🏠 Homeowners, property owners, renters and leasers!

👀 What do the paint and flag colors mean?

🤓 When a site is being marked for excavation, utility locators use the American Public Works Association (APWA) color code! Each color represents a different utility or function.

Utilities:
🔴= Electric
🟡= Gas/Petroleum
🟠= Communication/Fiber
🔵= Potable Water
🟣= Irrigation
🟢= Sewer

💻 Always contact OKIE811 before you dig!
