Call Before You Dig
Information for Contractors and Homeowners
The Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that anyone planning on digging must first locate underground utilities. Underground utilities include items such as: Electrical Wires, Water Pipes, Sewage Lines, Gas Lines, Telephone, and Cable TV. They can be dangerous and because they are hidden from view - it is difficult to know where they are.
Collingwood Utility Services will at no charge (subject to limited restrictions) arrange a hydro and water locate on your property. This can prevent not only costly repairs, but can also be a life saver.
Please allow five full business days for requested locates to be complete. We will respond to emergency locates as required.
Please contact us at 705-445-1800 ext 2233 for this service or use the Locate Request Form.
