The warning tape shall be of durable impervious material, designed to withstand extended underground exposure without material deterioration or fading of color. The tape shall be of the color assigned to the type of facility for surface markings and shall be durably imprinted with an appropriate warning message. The tape shall also comply with the specific requirements of the utility that owns the facility.
All tapes, unless otherwise directed by the specific utility, shall be detectable to a depth of at least 3 ft with a commercial radio-type metal locator.
