Online Locate Request

This online form can be used by a homeowner or contractor to request to have utility lines marked at a single address. The form is designed for simple requests only and should NOT be used for multiple addresses or intersections. Larger or more complex location requests can be processed online using other web applications after training has been completed - click here to find out more. Emergency tickets or tickets that require a Meet with the locators must be processed by phone through the Blue Stakes Notification Center and cannot be submitted online.

To use this program you must adhere to all of the following:

A valid e-mail address must be provided. Blue Stakes will send you a copy of the locate request when it has been processed and sent to the member utility companies.
Your request is not valid until you receive the locate request number which will be delivered to you by e-mail from noreply@bluestakes.org. Ensure that you can receive email from this address and that it isn't delivered into your junk/spam folder. Please do not reply to the confirmation message.
Requests received by Blue Stakes after 4:00 p.m. may be processed on the next business day.
Markings should be completed by the utility companies within two (2) business days after you receive a copy of your locate request by e-mail.
The area to be marked must be accessible (free from animals and locked gates) for two (2) business days from the date you receive your location request by e-mail.
The party doing the actual excavation (homeowner or contractor) must create a locate request in their name.
The exact address of the property must be provided and posted. Do not list an intersection or lot number. Do not include marking instructions for other properties.
Excavation sites that require additional marking instructions must be processed by calling 811 or using other web applications after training has been completed - click here to find out more.
If you cannot comply with all of these requirements, please call 811 to process your request by telephone.
If your request does not meet all of these requirements, it will be aborted without notice.

Please Note:

This request will be queued to Blue Stakes for further processing.
This is NOT an active location request until you have received a confirmation email containing your ticket number.
Blue Stakes will only notify participating member utilities of the proposed excavation. If you are aware of additional underground utilities in the vicinity of your proposed excavation that are not listed on the e-mail confirmation from Blue Stakes, it is your responsibility to contact those entities directly.
If you do not receive an e-mail confirmation from Blue Stakes within 24 business hours, please re-submit the request or call 811.
Excavation activity must not begin until after the legal date and time referenced on the e-mail confirmation you receive from Blue Stakes of Utah.
Your locate request will expire 14 calendar days after it is created or when the marks are no longer visible, whichever comes first.
If you need to dig beyond the expiration date of the locate request (listed on your request as the "Good Thru" date), you must contact Blue Stakes again and create another locate request no later than two business days before the expiration date. This date is listed on your request as the "Update By" date.
Power operated equipment is not permitted within 24 inches on either side of locate markings. Use hand tools only within this area!
Participating member utilities are not responsible for marking private underground lines.
The address must be posted and open access to the property must be provided (no locked gates or uncontained animals).
Please keep your ticket number as proof of contacting Blue Stakes; there may be a research fee to find lost ticket numbers.
