Private utility locating in Eagle, Colorado
The county seat. Eagle Ranch subdivisions, historic downtown lots and working ranch ground, all within a few miles of each other and none of them alike underground.
Eagle Locates provides private underground utility locating, leak detection and sewer line scoping throughout Eagle and the surrounding area, including Eagle Ranch, downtown Eagle, Brush Creek, Red Mountain and the surrounding ranch parcels. We find the customer-owned lines that Colorado 811 does not mark — everything past the meter or point of service, where the responsibility falls on the property owner and the excavator.
What's underground in Eagle
Eagle Ranch and planned subdivisions
Newer, more consistently built neighborhoods where the underground is generally better organized — but where landscape, irrigation, low-voltage and owner-added lines have accumulated since, and none of that is on any utility map.
Downtown and older Eagle
Older lots with older services, remodels, additions and outbuildings, and the abandoned lines that come with a century of a town rearranging itself.
Brush Creek and ranch parcels
Acreage properties with wells, septic, stock water, buried irrigation and long private runs to barns, shops and outbuildings. On working ground the underground is often known only to whoever put it in.
Being local matters
We are based here. That means shorter response times across the middle of the valley and a working familiarity with how these neighborhoods were actually built, not just how they were drawn.

Who calls us in Eagle

Before you dig anywhere in Colorado: notify Colorado 811 at least two full business days ahead. Marks are valid 30 days from the ticket due date or until they are no longer visible, and you must hand dig within 18 inches of any marked line. Then call us for the private side.
What the colors mean
We mark to the APWA uniform color code — the same standard the utilities use on an 811 locate.
Locating in Eagle — common questions
Do you charge extra to come to Eagle?
Eagle is inside our regular Eagle County service area. Call and we will tell you what the job costs and when we can get there — no surprises after the fact.
How soon can you locate in Eagle?
We schedule across the county and can often get out the same week. If you have a firm dig date, call as soon as it is set rather than the day before.
Do I still need to call Colorado 811?
Yes. Colorado law requires notifying 811 at least two full business days before excavating, and it is free. We handle the private lines beyond the meter that 811 does not mark.
