Utilities - NC 811 Facilities Use Agreement (John Nichols, Director of Public Utilities)

Issue/Action Requested:

Request that the Board of Commissioners approve a facilities use agreement with the North Carolina 811 organization allowing the 811 logo to be painted on the Bell Swamp above-ground water storage tank.

Background/Purpose of Request:

Due to the high visibility and high traffic zone, the North Carolina 811 organization has requested an agreement allowing their forces to paint the NC 811 logo on the Bell Swamp water storage tank. The NC 811 one-call system receives calls from excavators and dispatches requests to utility owners allowing them to mark underground utilities avoiding damage and costly repairs.  The 811 "Call Before You Dig" program helps to ensure our facilities are not damaged by excavators and is consistent with our mission.

 

The North Carolina 811 organization has agreed to bear the full cost of the project.  Staff recommends approval of the agreement to allow NC 811 to put their logo on the Bell's Swamp Ground Storage Water Tank.
