What utility lines are typically considered "Public?"

A "public" underground utility locate is a locate provided by a utility company for the services and utility lines they own and maintain, whether they are on public or private property. Utility lines are located to the "dissemination point" or "point of service" by the Utility Company (meter location, service valve, transformer or even the property line.) and each Utility Company may define exactly at what point their service ends and the private service owned and maintained by the property owner begins.
