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. We schedule regular planned locates on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week, and respond to emergency locates as required.

Please contact us at 705-445-1800 for this service.
