It is state law requirement for MitchCo to do a locate to notify utilities. While we take the necessary steps to locate all public utility lines before starting work, an accident may occur. Usually these lines are more than 3 feet underground, and we do not dig to that depth. If we do hit an underground utility line, we will notify you immediately and proceed to perform the required actions to restore the utility to working order. If you have any private underground utilities, please point those out to us before work begins.
