Safety: Contractors and Homeowners Information

Locates:

Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that any person planning on digging has to first find underground utilities.

Underground utilities include: Water Pipes, Gas Lines, Sewage Lines, Electrical Wires, Cable TV and Telephone. It’s hard to know where they are without proper locates by the utility provider such as Lakefront, Cogeco, Union Gas, Bell, or the Town of Cobourg.

Serious injury or death can be caused if someone digs into an underground electric cable. For electric underground locates in Cobourg or Colborne, please call 905-372-2193.
