What do the colors on the ground mean?

PEG Damage Prevention Council partners with local utilities, construction companies, and school districts to teach the need to 'Call 811 B4U Dig' safety awareness. We rely on volunteers, grants, and donations to sustain our mission. 

PEGDPC presents educational safety and scholarship programs to high school seniors in Pitkin, Eagle, and Garfield Counties along Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley.

Yes, no matter how shallow or how deep you are digging, you must contact 811 first. Colorado State law defines excavation as “any operation in which earth is moved or removed by means of any tools, equipment, or explosives and includes augering, backfilling, boring, ditching, drilling, grading, plowing-in, pulling-in, ripping, scraping, trenching, hydro-excavating, postholing, and tunneling”.

There is no cost, it's a free service.

The depth of utilities varies by location and by type. Erosion or leveling may cause the depth of a utility to change over time. For that reason, utility owners/operators only indicate depth if it is known.
