Dial “811”
DOT statistics show the majority of pipeline damage is caused by third parties digging near buried pipelines. “Third parties” are contractors & excavators, landscapers & fence builders, and land owners that are not controlled by the utility or its contractors. Third-party damage can be prevented by getting utility locates from One-Call.
Nevada law requires anyone planning to dig or excavate to get information on type, location and depth of all underground facilities in the area. The excavator must notify the Nevada One-Call Center by dialing 811 at least two full working days before beginning work. The One-Call center will notify member utilities with buried lines in the area. A WGC representative will determine if the project is near its pipelines and send someone to clearly mark the location of its buried pipelines.
Call Before You Dig!
- All locate requests must go to One-Call by dialing “811”.
- Locate requests must be made at least 48 hours or 2 business days before digging.
- Do NOT fax or email a locate request directly to WGC.
- WGC will not and cannot respond to locate requests made directly to the local office.
