Larger lots, longer lines

Where properties are larger, the distance from the road to the building grows, and so do the service lines. A long water service, sewer connection or power conduit run brings its own considerations.

Route. A good path avoids trees, structures, septic or drainage features and other utilities, and keeps the number of crossings low.

Crossings. A driveway, a fence line or a ditch can be crossed by opening the ground and restoring it, or by directional drilling beneath it between two small pits.

Materials and depth. Longer lines must meet the owner's and the utility's specifications along their whole length, with the right cover where they cross drives.

Access. Equipment has to reach the route without damaging lawns, pastures or paving more than necessary.

We ask about each of these when you send a request. Hydro excavation is used to expose existing lines where the route crosses them.

We serve homeowners, businesses, developers and public owners.

Notice before digging

Sunshine 811 receives locate requests under Chapter 556, Florida Statutes. The law (section 556.105) sets the notice at no less than two full business days, weekends and holidays excluded, and keeps a ticket valid for 30 calendar days. On larger private properties, owner-installed lines such as irrigation, lighting or private water lines may not be marked, so mention any you know of.

A simple sketch of the property, showing the road, the building and the route you expect the line to take, is one of the most useful things to send. Mark any features you want protected.
