Utility Designation and Verification

Utility designation and verification involve identifying and confirming the official status of utility lines, such as water, electricity, or gas, on a property. Designation means marking or labeling these lines to indicate their exact locations, often for safety or construction purposes. Verification ensures that these markings are accurate and current, typically by consulting utility records or conducting site inspections. This process helps prevent accidents, service disruptions, and property damage by clearly identifying underground or overhead utility assets before excavation or development.
