Traffic Facility Locates
Traffic Facility Locates
Collier County maintains a “Locates” team to protect our underground traffic facilities, such as
- fiber optic,
- power, and
- signal cables.
A contractor or a citizen can create a ticket by calling the 811 number of the Sunshine One Call (811) system of Florida or going to their website www.callsunshine.com. Locate tickets are created if we have facilities gridded within the area. Upon receipt of the ticket a locate technician will provide a marking of the area with paint and flags. We mark underground facilities with two different colored paints and flags; red for underground electric and orange for underground fiber optic communication.
