I came home from work today and there are several stakes with colored ribbons in place in my yard and/or th surrounding area. What is the meaning of this?
A survey crew was sent to your vicinity for utility work or a neighbor needs to survey their own property. The color of the ribbon depicts the utility.
- Blue - Water
- Brown - Sewer
- Green - Storm Drain
- Orange - Phone & TV
- Purple - Surveying
- Red - Electric
- Yellow - Oil & Gas
Utility and survey companies are not required to notify the township not the homeowner when they come out to your area. Thus, we here at the Township may not know the purpose or reason for the flags. You can call Miss Dig at 1-800-482-7171 to find out what is going on.
