After submitting your ticket to Virginia 811 to have your utilities located, a utility or contract locator will visit your proposed dig site and identify the underground utilities that they operate.
Learn MorePositive Response Codes
Utilities will respond to the Positive Response system with a 2-digit code to indicate that they have marked their underground utilities, or to indicate that the description of proposed work is not in conflict with their utilities. The codes can be used for other circumstances, for example, the utility locator could not gain access to mark due to a locked gate.
