Since pipelines are normally buried underground, markers are used to show the approximate location of the pipeline. Pipeline markers are required by the United Sates Department of Transportation and should never be removed or relocated by anyone other than a pipeline operator. The markers display the name of the pipeline operator, the product being transported in the pipeline, and a telephone number where the operator can be reached in the event of an emergency. They can not be relied upon to indicate the exact position of the pipeline they mark. Please ensure that no buildings, structures, trees or other obstructions are ereceted, placed or planted on or within the pipeline right-of-way.
In a pipeline emergency contact 1-877-712-3109 or Polaris Pipeline Systems at 512-263-9212
