The White Line Ordinance
The White Line Ordinance was established in 2002 because of numerous damages due to unmarked or improperly marked utilities. Since the formal adoption of this ordinance, damages have decreased, their is less confusion in locating areas that need to be marked, and Locating staff have received statewide recognition for their hardwork.
