This version redacts sensitive information including personnel assigned and responding to the service request. This dataset allows for the calculation of the Arizona 811 Tickets submitted in the Mesa and/or Magma Service Areas. An 811 locate ticket is generated by a homeowner or excavator contacting Arizona’s 811 service and informing them that they have a project that involves underground excavation. The ticket is assigned a ticket identification number and forwarded to the appropriate utility that assigns department various staff (gas, water, electric, etc.) to identify and mark any existing underground utilities in the specified project area.

This version redacts all sensitive information including the person making the report, street number, longitude, latitude, geolocation, and name of excavator. This dataset contains information necessary to compute the number of reportable incidents occurring per month on Mesa’s natural gas system and determine the cause of any damages that may occur.

This dataset contains the necessary information to compute the average cost of a utility locate in the Mesa and/or Magma Service Areas (see Service Area maps). A utility locate involves identification of all underground utilities prior to excavation in a specified area. A utility locate is initiated, usually by a homeowner or excavator, by calling 811 or contacting Arizona’s 811 center’s website and providing the address, county and nearest cross street of where they’re planning to dig, as well as the type of project they’re completing and the exact area on the property they’re planning to dig. 811 then contacts the city’s utilities so they can mark the presence of any underground utilities in the proposed project area. Utility locates can contribute to increased safety to people and property and can eliminate unexpected costs due to accidental damage of buried utilities. A locate can be initiated by either a homeowner or an excavator. Data being reported may have a 14 day lag.
