Be Safe and Call Before you Dig!
Utility lines, including water, sewer, gas, electrical and fiber utilities are running underground all around the City of Durango.
The Utility Notification Center of Colorado (UNCC) generally known as Colorado 811 (colorado811.org) should be contacted either via phone (dial 811) or through their online portal at least two business days prior to the time of planned excavation (the day of the notice does not count for calculation of required response times).
When creating a locate ticket, be sure to describe completely the area to be located as omitted areas tend to be the most frequent cause of delay in locates or damage to utilities.
The City of Durango has contracted with US Infrastructure Company Locating Services LLC (USIC) to perform locating services for City owned water and sewer utilities. This includes all water and sewer assets within the City right of way (generally from sidewalk to sidewalk) and where a water main crosses private property. Service lines to individual properties are not located by USIC, accordingly it is the customer responsibility to have locates of service lines completed where work may occur. Locating companies which may provide the service are listed on the Colorado 811 website.
