What utility lines are typically considered "private?"

 

Utility lines typically considered private include, but are not limited to the following:

• Water lines inside property boundaries.
• Sanitary and Storm Sewer line inside property boundaries.
• Gas lines beyond the gas meter, such as those feeding outbuildings, BBQ's, pools, generators, machinery, etc.
• Power lines beyond the meter, or the site transformer or substation, such as the main service lines into a building from such a point, or sub-services to outbuildings, sub-panels, etc.
• Electrical lines for signage, parking lot lighting, walkway lighting, gates, pumps islands, machinery, block-heater plugs, etc.
• Telecommunication lines (phone, cable, internet, network) beyond the telecom room or dissemination point, such as internal property networks, closed-circuit TV cameras, alarm systems, communication and phone systems, etc.
• Irrigation lines, though many are plastic only, and not locatable. Wiring to valves and solenoids can be located.
• Air lines and hydraulic lines for equipment and machinery.
• Fuel and product lines from AST's and UST's, including gasoline, diesel, heating oil, waste oil, etc.
• Fill and vent lines for Underground storage tanks.
• Fibre optic lines for onsite communications. Note: fibre optic lines themselves are not locatable, but they may have a tracer or sheath that is.
• Any other service or utility line that is owned, installed, and maintained by the property owner as opposed to an outside third party Utility Company.
