Private Utilities are the buried lines after the meter or main lines. If you have a curbside meter then your property will not get marked by the participating member utility locators. Other buried utilities that generally are not marked include but may not be limited to: sewer lines, private lighting, sprinklers, fire mains, secondary electric lines to detached garages, and septic lines.

No. There will be a service fee for a private locate. The utilites are owned by you and its the owners responsibility to cover the cost to protect private undergound lines.

MUWV does not do the locating; each MUWV member is responsible to mark their lines. Remember that not all utility owners belong to MUWV at present & are not notified by us to locate for you. You must notify non-members directly. Excavators must also be aware that some underground lines are owned by the property owner who is responsible for those lines and, therefore, is some cases, may not be located by the utility company.
