My yard has been painted with different colors. What work is being done?

Utility companies have the right to work in the street right-of-way to lay or maintain their lines. Before work begins, the company calls to notify other utilities of the work to be done. The other utilities then mark their existing lines in the area.


Gas lines are marked in yellow, telephone and cable in orange, electric in red, water in blue, and sewer in green. To find out what work is being done, contact the utility companies.
