Line Locates
Line Locates are necessary for any service where we will be digging or puncturing the ground. For all tent rentals, the renter is required to contact and arrange underground line locates by all utility companies (electricity, hydro, telephone companies) by contacting click before you dig.
Regardless of the previous locates, lines must be identified no more than 3 weeks prior to the event as line locates expire after 3 weeks.
Inspections MUST be done.
If locates are not completed, set-up will not begin and full payment is required.
You are not clear to excavate until all utilities have been located.

All clients are responsible for their own line locates
