Thad,

I have used this before, even though I think its intent is for marking things in the field.

APWA UTILITY COLOR CODES

The American Public Works Association (APWA) recommends the following guidelines be used when marking underground utilities.

	White = Proposed Excavation
	Pink = Temporary Survey Markings
	Red = Electric Power Lines, Cables, Conduit and Lighting Cables
	Yellow = Gas, Oil, Steam, Petroleum or Gaseous Materials
	Orange = Communication, Alarm or Signal Lines, Cables or Conduit
	Blue = Potable Water
	Purple = Reclaimed Water, Irrigation and Slurry Lines
	Green = Sewer and Drain Lines

Hello friends and esteemed colleagues,

I once had a list of industry standard colors for used utility line representation, but sadly I cannot find those notes now that I need them… I know that when displaying utility data, such as water lines, gas lines, storm/sanitary lines, there are certain colors that are industry standards… such as blue for something, orange for something else, green for something else, etc… Can anyone remind me of what color is used to represent what utility? I already Googled for the standard 20 minutes, and came up empty with regards to this topic. Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Thad
