Click Before You Dig
Planning a Project?
Always request a locate before you dig.
An underground locate tells you if and where utilities are buried on your property, helping you avoid power outages, costly repairs and serious injury. Whether you’re a homeowner planting a garden or a contractor installing a pool, it’s important to know what’s underground.
Remember it’s free, it’s easy and it’s the Law.
How to Request an Underground Locate
- Contact Ontario One Call to request a FREE underground utility locate. To help plan your work, contact Ontario One Call a minimum of 5 business days prior to digging. If you require an advanced locate a minimum of 10 business days is required.
- A Renfrew Hydro representative will clearly mark where the underground infrastructure runs through your dig area and will provide a locate sheet that includes a diagram of what has been located.
- If markings are not required, you will still receive a response from Renfrew Hydro to indicate that your work area is clear. Do not dig until you have received all responses.
- Once you have received your locate, be sure to Dig Safe. Visit ontarioonecall.ca for more information.
