Water pipe location
You must have underground pipes, cables, and wires located before digging on a property you own or rent.
Common types of projects that require digging include:
- Planting a tree.
- Building a fence.
- Building a deck.
- Creating a new garden.
A locate is when utility companies check your property to see where things like gas lines, water pipes, electrical cables, internet, or sewer lines are underground, then mark their locations on the ground with paint or flags.
If you need to do any kind of digging, Ontario One Call (ON1Call) will call the owners of the underground infrastructure, including Peel Region, to mark the location of their pipes.
