§ 7006. Marking of underground utility facilities
A company notified in accordance with section 7005 of this title shall, within 72 hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after
the receipt of the notice, mark the approximate location of its underground utility
facilities in the area of the proposed excavation activities; provided, however, if
the company advises the person that the proposed excavation area is of such length
or size that the company cannot reasonably mark all of the underground utility facilities
within 72 hours, the person shall notify the company of the specific locations in
which the excavation activities will first occur and the company shall mark facilities
in those locations within 72 hours and the remaining facilities within a reasonable
time thereafter. A company and an excavator may by agreement fix a later time for
the company’s marking of the facilities, provided the marking is made prior to excavation
activities. For the purposes of this chapter, the approximate location of underground
facilities shall be marked with stakes, paint, or other physical means as designated
by the Commission. (Added 1987, No. 86, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1988; amended 1993, No. 118 (Adj. Sess.), § 6; 2025, No. 43, § 32, eff. June 2, 2025.)
