Hydro Excavation, Hydro Jetting and CCTV Pipe Inspection in Davis County, Utah

Davis County is Delta Hydro Excavation's home county. The company is headquartered at 505 North Main in North Salt Lake and provides hydro excavation, hydro jetting, and CCTV pipe inspection from North Salt Lake and Bountiful north through Farmington, Kaysville, and Layton.

What hydro excavation projects are most common in Davis County?

The most common Davis County jobs are utility exposure in refinery and pipeline corridors, potholing along the I-15 and Legacy Parkway transportation corridor, and jetting and CCTV inspection of municipal sewer and storm lines.

Davis County squeezes highways, rail, pipelines, and neighborhoods into a narrow strip between the Wasatch Range and the Great Salt Lake, so utilities share tight corridors. Typical requests include:

  • Daylighting petroleum and gas lines in the North Salt Lake and Woods Cross industrial area
  • Potholing for crossings and bores in UDOT right-of-way
  • Utility locating for commercial and residential development
  • Hydro jetting and CCTV inspection of new and existing pipe

What permits and utility rules apply to excavation in Davis County?

Right-of-way excavation in Davis County is permitted mostly city by city, on top of the statewide Blue Stakes of Utah (811) requirement to call at least two business days before digging.

  • City permits: Farmington, Centerville, Kaysville, and other Davis County cities each require an excavation permit from their public works department before digging in a city street or right-of-way. Farmington, for example, requires a permit fee, a cash bond, and a certificate of liability insurance.
  • Sewer ownership: Sewer service runs through special districts (South Davis, Central Davis, and North Davis sewer districts) alongside city-owned collection lines. Confirm who owns the line before scheduling jetting or CCTV inspection so the report goes to the right agency.
  • State routes: Work in UDOT right-of-way along I-15, Legacy Parkway, and the West Davis Corridor requires a UDOT encroachment permit. Delta is a UDOT Masterworks Registered Vendor.
  • Tolerance zone: Within 24 inches of a marked facility, Utah law requires hand digging or soft excavation such as hydro excavation.
