FACILITY OWNERS - Owners of Utility Lines Have to Comply with the Underground Utility Line Protection Law
Owners of manufactured housing communities that also own their own utility lines in the community fall under the definition of a “facility owner” and must comply with the Underground Utility Line Protection Law. The law requires all “facility owners” to be a member of the PA Once Call System (POCS). There are two parts to the Underground Utility Line Protection Law. The first part most are familiar with ~ Call Before You Dig ~ requires compliance of contractors and excavators who rely on facility owners to properly identify any underground utility lines that may be in the area of where the excavation (or dig) will be taking place. Facility owners are only responsible for marking their lines within the dig area.
The second part requires facility owners to be members of the POCS so they can be contacted when a contractor or excavator calls and needs lines marked for a dig area. A “line” or “facility” is defined to mean “an underground conductor or underground pipe or structure used in providing electric or communication service, or an underground pipe used in carrying, gathering, transporting or providing natural or artificial gas, petroleum, propane, oil or petroleum and production product, sewage, water or other service to one or more transportation carriers, consumer or customers of such service and the appurtenances thereto, regardless of whether such line or structures is locate on land owned by a person or public agency or whether it is located within and easement or right-of-way.”
Therefore, if you have a water or wastewater system and/or lines that you own within your community that connects to a municipal system or your own system then you are a facility owner by definition and must comply with that part of the law. This would also include communities that own lines supplying heating sources, electric or any other type of utility to their residents within the community.
To arrange a meeting with a POCS representative call 800-242-1776. They will review your activities and determine if you do fall under the definition of “facility owner.” If you have additional questions please contact the association office.
Please contact POCS directly by phone or (email) for the most current rate schedule.
