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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. To bring awareness of the issues to all impacted stakeholders and ask for their assistance to employ the Committee’s recommendations.
