What’s Next?

Once the order is processed by the center, you can expect your utility markings at the project location within 2 business days (or 10 business days for remote/unstaffed locations).

Once the facilities are marked, you are expected to comply with Alaska Statutes 42.30.400. Utilities are marked according to the American Public Works Association color code – see our FAQ page for more info.
