Private utility locating in Avon, Colorado
A commercial core, a river corridor and a steep residential bench above town — three very different locating problems inside one zip code.
Eagle Locates provides private underground utility locating, leak detection and sewer line scoping throughout Avon and the surrounding area, including the Avon commercial core, Nottingham Lake, Eagle River corridor, Wildridge and Wildwood. We find the customer-owned lines that Colorado 811 does not mark — everything past the meter or point of service, where the responsibility falls on the property owner and the excavator.
What's underground in Avon
Commercial core density
Hotels, lodging, retail and municipal property in central Avon sit over concentrated utility runs, much of it privately owned past the point of service. Work in these areas usually cannot afford an outage or a closed access lane, which makes locating first the cheap option.
Wildridge and Wildwood
Up on the bench the lots are steep, the driveways are long, and the service runs from the road to the house cover real distance across terrain. A long private service is a long way to guess wrong.
Eagle River corridor
Riverfront and near-river work brings crossings, irrigation, and drainage into the picture alongside the usual services, in ground that is often saturated.
Mixed construction eras
Avon has stock ranging from original 1970s and 80s development through recent redevelopment, so what you find underground depends heavily on which decade the property was last worked on.

Before you dig anywhere in Colorado: notify Colorado 811 at least two full business days ahead. Marks are valid 30 days from the ticket due date or until they are no longer visible, and you must hand dig within 18 inches of any marked line. Then call us for the private side.
What the colors mean
We mark to the APWA uniform color code — the same standard the utilities use on an 811 locate.
Locating in Avon — common questions
Do you charge extra to come to Avon?
Avon is inside our regular Eagle County service area. Call and we will tell you what the job costs and when we can get there — no surprises after the fact.
How soon can you locate in Avon?
We schedule across the county and can often get out the same week. If you have a firm dig date, call as soon as it is set rather than the day before.
Do I still need to call Colorado 811?
Yes. Colorado law requires notifying 811 at least two full business days before excavating, and it is free. We handle the private lines beyond the meter that 811 does not mark.
