Council approves WA811 locates and Northwest One Call subscription agreements
Summary
The council unanimously approved a Northwest One Call subscription and the Utilities Underground Location Center (WA811) service to provide 24-hour locates to mark buried utilities and reduce excavation damage.
Council voted unanimously on Dec. 3 to approve two utility-locate agreements: a subscription to the Northwest One Call master agreement and registration with the Utilities Underground Location Center (WA811).
As recorded in the minutes, the agreements "allow the City a 24 hr. notice to locate and mark water and sewer lines for residents and preventing damage to current lines when digging for a minimal cost." Councilmember Gorman moved and Councilmember Bryson seconded the motion; it carried unanimously.
Staff will implement the agreements to provide notice-and-locate services for residents planning excavations; no contract terms beyond authorization were recorded in the minutes.
