Whether you are landscaping, building a new fence or deck, or simply planting a garden, disturbing the ground on your property can cause damage to a buried utility. Some utilities are buried mere centimeters below the surface.
The result of a contact with a buried line can range from loss of an essential service for you or your neighbours to serious injury or fatalities. The financial costs of repairing any damage you cause to a buried utility will be borne by you, the excavator. |

If you plan to disturb the ground, find out where the buried utilities are on your property as part of your project planning process. Check your property title for utility right of ways, and contact Alberta One-Call to place a request to have the utilities identified for planning purposes.
For example, if you are planning to build a fence, the presence of buried utilities may dictate where posts can be installed or the location of the gate. Contact the utility owners directly for information about any building restrictions related to their buried lines. When you are ready to begin your excavation, contact us |
