What does a purple mark out line mean?

• A. Temporary Survey Markings
• B. Proposed Excavation
• C. Reclaimed Water
• D. Sewage

Answer: (C)

Purple marks indicate reclaimed water lines. Reclaimed water is treated wastewater used for irrigation and other non-drinking purposes, so these markings flag buried piping that should not be damaged. Before digging, verify the line with the utility owner and obtain the necessary approvals. Always call 811 to have underground utilities located. For reference, other colors map to different systems: blue for potable water, green for sewer, red for electric, yellow for gas, orange for telecommunications; pink is typically for temporary survey markings, and white denotes proposed excavation limits.
