Larger properties with several buildings

On larger properties, including those with barns, arenas or paddocks, underground utilities serve more than one building and often run a long way: water lines to barns and wash areas, conduit for lighting, pumps and gates, sewer or drainage lines from buildings, and storm pipes that keep riding and parking areas usable.

Work on such properties tends to raise these points:

Keeping the property usable

Routes are chosen to avoid arenas, paddocks and turnout areas where possible, and crossings of drives or riding surfaces may be drilled rather than trenched.

Finding private lines

Lines installed over the years for irrigation, lighting or water troughs are rarely on a map and are not marked by the one-call process; the owner's knowledge and hydro excavation fill the gap.

Protecting animals and people

Open excavations are kept fenced or covered and are as short-lived as practical.

In residential neighborhoods and commercial areas, the work is more familiar: water services, sewer laterals, storm repairs and conduit, reached with as little disturbance as the site allows.

One-call notice

Sunshine 811 receives locate requests under Chapter 556, Florida Statutes, before excavation. 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.
