Common projects
Private utilities can cross the exact area planned for a pool, patio, addition, fence, landscape feature, drainage project, or other improvement. A private locating visit focuses on the defined work area and the property-owned services that may not appear in the public 811 response.

811 and private lines
An 811 ticket notifies participating utilities and remains required before digging. Privately owned lines on the property—such as irrigation, service beyond a meter, power to a shed, pet fencing, propane, or septic components—may not be included in that response.
Private utility locating addresses the defined project area without replacing the public service.
