Re: Orange Underground Cable Install said by Ken: The lines themselves are most often made from plastic that is color coded to that chart. So for example Gas line is almost always made from yellow plastic, and water lines are almost always made from blue plastic. Sometimes the big water mains are made from black plastic, but they have a blue stripe on them. Every underground "data" cabling I have seen has been orange (in the past 5 or so years). In our neighborhood, many natural gas lines have been replaced and they are always bright-*ss yellow. And FWIW, apparently the letters "WATER" being cast-in to the cover to the water-meter access in my front sidewalk isn't sufficient ... so someone spray-painted them all blue. |
