City Utility Locate Requests

Line locate requests are not limited to construction but also include DIY projects that may require digging for a fence, planting a tree, or installing a sprinkler system, to name a few.  

Complete a City Utility Locate Request before you start any digging projects. Seabrook Public Works staff will locate water, sewer, and fiber lines near your work site. In addition, call 8-1-1 for gas, electrical, and telecommunication line locates.

City utility locate requests are addressed Monday - Thursday and should be made at least 48 hours before a project is set to begin. Please call (346) 749-0122 for City utility locate requests.
