The depth of utility lines varies and there may
be multiple utility lines in a common area.
Utilities such as pipelines, natural gas, electric and communication lines are federally regulated as to the depth they must be buried. However, factors such as ground erosion and landscape design can change the original depth a utility was placed. Cable TV lines can be found just under the sod making them susceptible to damage from any type of digging activity.
Homeowners and professional excavators are urged to contact JULIE prior to any excavation project, no matter how small.
