Water and Sewer Underground Utility Line/Cross
Boring Committee
On May 30, 2007, a committee was established consisting
of Virginia stakeholders with the following mission:
- To take proactive measures to identify potential
hazards, risks, and issues associated with trenchless
excavation operations in the vicinity of unmarked
water and sewer underground utility lines.
- To develop short and long-term action items
and a plan that includes recommendations to
assist in minimizing and/or preventing the
potential risk of cross boring through unmarked
water and sewer underground utility lines
in Virginia.
- To bring awareness of the issues to all
impacted stakeholders and ask for their assistance
to employ the Committee’s recommendations.
The point of contact for additional information concerning the committee
and its mission is Frank Hudik with the Virginia State Corporation Commission at frank.hudik@scc.virginia.gov or 804-371-9983.
