What is BLUE STAKE?

Arizona Blue Stake was established as a one-call notification system by underground facility owners to assist excavators with the statutory requirements to notify underground facility owners prior to excavation.

By participating in the program and getting underground facilities located, you will:

  • Comply with State law
  • Avoid injuries
  • Prevent costly damages and interruptions of facility services
  • Save time and money
  • Avoid hazards
  • Eliminate construction delays
