  2. 2

    Request a locate from each operator

    Mark, protect, dig carefully

    Mark the locate paint or pegs on site, hand-dig within 0.5 m of marked assets, and never assume a clear trench means clear ground.

Frequently asked questions

How many utility operators are there in Chatham Islands?
1 operator is based in Chatham Islands, plus 7 nationwide providers that operate across NZ — that's 8 total to consider before you dig.
Who should I call before digging in Chatham Islands?
You need a locate from every operator that serves your worksite — typically that means the local council (water / stormwater), the lines company (power) and any gas or fibre providers active in your area. The directory above lists them all. For example, Chatham Islands Council can be reached via their website.
What's the difference between a regional council and a city / district council?
Regional councils (in this case the Chatham Islands Regional Council) handle environmental management, public transport and stormwater regulation. Territorial authorities (city and district councils) own the actual drinking water, wastewater and local stormwater pipes you'll encounter when digging.
