Dig These Facts
The OUNC's One-Call Center provides a free service to home owners, contractors and other excavators, informing them of any buried facilities in the area where they are planning to dig.To request locates for proposed excavation, you can reach the One-Call Center at 1-800-332-2344.

Oregon law requires that anyone digging in private property or any public right of way call the One Call Center prior to digging. Everyone, contractor and homeowner alike, must call two business days prior to digging. After the call is received, the One-Call Center will notify all affected Operators. The Operators then have two business days to locate and accurately mark their underground facilities using color-coded paint.

The One-Call Center is available 24 hours to process locate requests, and is the only resource of its kind that covers all of Oregon and many areas in surrounding states.The One-Call Center provides critical information that can prevent injury, damage and service disruptions caused by digging too close to underground facilities. A call to the One-Call Center protects the homeowner/excavator from possibly being charged thousands of dollars to repair damaged facilities in the event of a dig-in accident. More than 260,000 "Request for Locate" tickets were processed in 2001.
