Anyone digging must contact OKIE811 to have facility operators locate and mark their underground lines.

Design-Survey Request

Effective November 1, 2023, A Design-Survey Request can be submitted to facility operators so they may provide underground facility information during the design or engineering phase of a project. Facility operators will have 14 calendar days to respond to the Design-Survey Request by physically marking the site or providing maps of the facilities.  Facility operators have the choice in how they respond with facility details.

A Design-Survey request is not a locate request and is not for excavation purposes.  If you will be excavating, please submit a locate request no less than 3 business days and no more than 10 business days prior to the excavation start date.
