Utility and telecommunication companies place flags to locate underground lines, designate survey markings, and/or identify excavation areas. This is often done in response to an 8-1-1 request. The Township is often not privy to the reasons for such requests. This is because the requests are sent through, or reviewed by, the Township. To find out why flags are being placed, a resident can either:

1) Download the Ohio Public Utilities (OHIO811) smartphone app and click on 'Near Tickets" to view any 8-1-1 ticket requests within 2,000 feet of their cell phone's current location; or

2) Call the Ohio Utilities Protection Service at 800-362-2764 to identify who had an area marked and for what purpose.    

Flags marking service lines are color coded as follows:

Red - Electric power lines, cables, conduit and lighting cables
Yellow - Gas, oil, steam, petroleum or gaseous materials
Orange - Communication, alarm or signal lines, cables or conduit
Blue - Potable water
Purple - Reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines
Green - Sewers and drain lines
Pink - Temporary survey markings
White - Proposed excavating

The location and type of animal will determine whether or not a public agency will respond to requests for removal.  Review the information posted online to learn more.
