Utility Line Locating Division

The Utility Line Locating Division is responsible for identifying, locating and marking all City of Auburn owned and maintained utilities throughout the City of Auburn and it’s various utility service areas as part of the division’s damage prevention program. The division is the Water Resource Management Department’s first line of defense for protecting the City’s utilities in order to prevent unnecessary and often very costly damages as well as unwarranted interruptions to customer and citizen services.

The utility infrastructure covered within this program include the potable water distribution system, the sanitary sewer collection system and the City’s own fiber optic telecommunication network.

The division is responsible for providing locating services for approximately 320 miles of potable water mains and appurtenances, 350 miles of sanitary sewer mains, and several thousand linear feet of fiber optic cable. We perform an average of 12,600 requests each year.
