The law says I have to premark before calling Dig Safe. What is premarking?
State law requires all excavators to premark the area of excavation before notifying Dig Safe. Premarking is defined as marking out the scope of the proposed excavation area, using white stakes, paint or flags. Indicating exactly where the work will take place aids the utility locator in finding the area of upcoming excavation work, keeps operating costs down, and prevents excessive marking in areas where they are not needed.
