CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS & COLORADO SPRINGS UTILITIES UNDERGROUND DAMAGE PREVENTION SAFETY PROGRAM

The City has partnered with CSU to stand up a local enforcement program to oversee excavation activities and requirements. Contractors will still call for locates through the 811 program, however CSU will now be able to address complaints and infractions at a local level. A new Article 10 (Underground Damage Prevention Safety Program) of Chapter 12 (Utilities) of the Code of the City of Colorado Springs has been approved – resulting in a change to City Code.
