Why do I need private locates?

Washington State law, RCW 19.122 States that any and every person doing any type of excavation must call before they dig! When you call for a public locate using 1-800-424-5555 or 811 the individual utility companies will locate and mark services that are only owned by them with the rest being the responsibility of the homeowners, business owners, contractors, and excavators to have the private utilities located at their own expense. Some examples of these private utilities are electric, gas, phone and water services, & sewer. Many industrial complexes have privately owned communication, power, water, gas, irrigation, & sewer systems between main buildings and outlying buildings.  By locating these utilities you can avoid large repair bills and unproductive down time that can run up job costs. Even for the minor home improvement jobs (such as installing fences, signs, planting trees, etc.) require locates.
