Blue Stakes-Remember to call 811 for Blue Stakes before you start installing fences, landscaping, sprinklers, RV Pads, accessory buildings, swimming pools, trampoline pits, or anything that requires digging. It is a state law to contact Blue Stakes of Utah at least two full business days prior to any digging, in order to have all utilities marked. Some utilities are located in backyards. Please be aware that if Blue Stakes is called for a project on or near your property, utility companies and City employees may need to enter your backyard in order to mark the utilities that are located in the backyard. This increases safety awareness to you or your contractor by knowing where underground utilities are located, so they do not risk damaging utilities. Blue Stake requests may also be submitted online at bluestakes.org
