Multiple Choice

For Reclaimed water, slurry, and irrigation facilities, which color tag is used?

Explanation:
Underground utility color coding uses standardized colors to identify what type of facility is buried. Purple marks are specifically reserved for reclaimed water, irrigation, and slurry lines. This helps distinguish these non-potable or specialized systems from others like potable water (blue), electric power (red), or sewer (green). The color code is designed so workers immediately know what they’re dealing with when they see a tag or spray paint, reducing the risk of damaging a line and ensuring proper safety and maintenance.
