In the State of Connecticut, it is the law to contact CBYD prior to any excavation involving mechanized or powered equipment. The laws and regulations regarding excavation are in place to protect utility assets, but most importantly to protect the people excavating. Connecticut’s “Call Before You Dig” (CBYD) program is effective, FREE and the law. Be responsible and contact CBYD for the safety of the community, the safety of the local utilities and your own safety!

Planning a project but you're not digging in the next 30 days? Planning a large scale project? Need to coordinate with underground utility owners for your project? Use CBYD’s Design & Survey tool! |
The Design & Survey tool allows you to submit your proposed future project information to possible affected underground utilities for advanced planning or design. This is so you can design your work around where the lines are buried and collaborate with the utilities for planning your project. Using Design & Survey instantly provides you with contact information for each utility to be used for that purpose. |
| IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING A DESIGN REQUEST! By submitting a Design & Survey request, it sends your project information to possible affected utilities of your planned work, so please be sure to include as much detail as possible about the scope and location of your planned project on your request It is then your responsibility to follow up with the utilities directly to coordinate planning by contacting the phone numbers provided on your request. **Please note: Design & Survey is NOT an excavation ticket and does not cover any excavation or prompt a utility markout. When you are ready to excavate within the next 30 days, you will need to submit a CBYD E-ticket for the excavation and wait the required time in accordance with Connecticut law and regulations for utilities to respond** |
