ABSTRACT:
An underground utility location marker including an elongated casing inserted into the ground above an underground utility line, and a rod received in the casing. The rod is selectively movable between a lowered storage position and a raised warning position where it can be seen by a person preparing to excavate in the area. A directional arrow and a distance indicator are carried on a ground flange attached to the top of the casing to show the direction and distance to the next adjacent marker. Also, the rod is of a distinctive color indicating a specific utility.
