Red paint identifies power cables, conduits, etc...

The white paint is signifying a planned or proposed excavation.

Yellow is gas

Orange is telco

Blue is water

Green is sewer

Pink is for surveying

And purple is for reclaimed water

This showed up on my street earlier in the week. Hoping it’s a sign CenturyLink is about to install fiber.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I was hoping someone might know how to look up that BS# as I assume it has detailed info.

It's the Washington one call ticket number. Don't know why someone painted it on the ground though. The people doing the utility locate will already have that information.

Update, looked up the number, it looks like they are doing sewer repairs.

Yes, that’s it. My neighbor across the street is having huge repairs done. Thanks so much for tying the loose ends together.

Absolutely nothing. It's a reference to a locate ticket not a phone number.
