MORE INFO:
Join us for a session at the WETRC Washington Operators Workshop in Yakima, WA! Nearly a billion dollars in damages occur to underground water utilities each year in the USA due to inability or failure to locate pipelines.  Some municipalities use a variety of different locating methods to find pipelines both young and old, made from various materials.  Damages still occur.  One of these methods involves the use of tracer wire to find pipelines which comes with its own challenges.
