Checked against beforeUdig's published member and non-member lists on 26 July 2026, and against each operator's own website. Membership changes in both directions, so confirm anything critical with the operator. How we check
Who to contact in Waitaki
9 operators are specific to Waitaki, plus 15 nationwide networks that run through most of the country.
Contact these 8 yourself
Not beforeUdig members, so they will not appear on an enquiry confirmation sheet even if they have assets on your site. 7 of them have no online locate form - those are phone calls.
These 1 are beforeUdig members
These take locate requests through beforeUdig, so your enquiry lists them. Check the confirmation sheet: members marked "Not Notified" still have to be rung directly.
Plus 15 nationwide networks
Transmission, rail, state highways and the national carriers. These serve every district, so they appear on all of these pages. 6 of them are not beforeUdig members.
