2021 ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey Updates Affect Utility Locating
2021 ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey Updates Affect Utility Locating
Beginning today, Tuesday, February 23, 2021, a new set of ALTA/NSPS standards have been adopted. One major change affects utility locating within the property boundaries. Per Section 5.E.iv:
“A client may select from (a) plans and/or reports
provided by the client, and (b) markings coordinated by the
surveyor pursuant to a private utility locate request.
Notably, there is not an option for markings requested by the
surveyor pursuant to 811 utility locate requests.”
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
- No longer will you be waiting for Miss Utility to mark, and possibly mismark, your site. Engaging UPI will give you a full picture of your work;
- Your project stays on schedule – we understand how quickly your clients want your surveys completed. We deliver an accurate map the first go-around;
- You have a turn key solution. Want to be able to overlay the work without worrying about locating and mapping the utilities yourself? UPI can map and locate utilities within the property limits on your project systems. Let us take on 11b!
With these new standards, you’ll need a go-to private locator you can trust. UPI has been providing utility locating in support of ALTA/NSPS surveys for our clients since we were founded. You can count on us to provide what you need as you acclimate yourself to these new standards.
