Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is not considered a utility indication during fieldwork?

Manholes observed on the property

Pipeline markers indicating underground utilities

Vegetation observed during the survey

Vegetation observed during the survey is not considered a utility indication during fieldwork because it does not provide direct evidence of the presence or location of underground utilities. While certain types of vegetation might indirectly suggest the existence of utilities—such as patterns of growth associated with irrigation or fertilization—they do not serve as definitive markers.

In contrast, manholes, pipeline markers, and utility cuts are all tangible indicators that directly relate to the presence and location of utility infrastructure. Manholes often provide access points to sewage systems or drainage lines, while pipeline markers are specifically placed to indicate underground pipelines. Utility cuts, which are openings made in the ground to access or repair utilities, clearly suggest that there are utilities in the area. Therefore, while vegetation may provide contextual information about the land, it does not specifically indicate the existence of utilities.
