I want to locate the buried wires and electrical cables on my property. What should I do?

Knowing where these buried lines are before you dig can avert a major catastrophe. If you are planning a project that involves excavation near buried electrical cables, call BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886 to confirm the location of all underground utility services at your construction site. You must also contact City Operations to have water, sanitary and storm sewers located within the city limits.
