(a) In addition to complying with the requirements of K.S.A. 1998 Supp. 66-1800 et seq. (“One call excavation notice system”) before the start date of any right-of-way excavation, each registrant who has equipment in the area to be excavated shall mark the horizontal and approximate vertical placement, if known, of all said equipment. Any registrant whose equipment is less than 24 inches below a concrete or asphalt surface should notify and work closely with the excavation contractor to establish the exact location of its equipment and the best procedure for excavation.

(b) All locate marking shall be done using water-based paint. Every effort shall be made to minimize the number and size of markings to avoid damaging City infrastructure or creating a graffiti-like appearance in the public right-of-way. (Ord. 17587 § 5-20, 10-24-00. Code 1995 § 130-695.)
