In order to be issued a Street Opening Permit, you must first call in a CODE 753 so that all underground utilities are marked out prior to any work beginning. You must provide our office with a Dig Safely Ticket Number to place on the permit itself. Either dial 811 or contact 800-962-7962 and follow the prompts in order to obtain a ticket number.

The Highway Department office must be provided with a sketch, drawing and/or set of plans for the proposed work so that the Superintendent of Highways can review it prior to permit issuance.
