811 locate requests only lead to *public* utility lines getting marked! So water, gas, sewer and telecom lines running from the street to your home are covered—but privately installed lines are not. If you’re digging near private utilities, hire a private utility locator.

Once you submit your locate request, allow time for all lines to be marked before you dig, and don’t dig before you’re sure ALL lines have been marked.
