Web Portal Guide

Basic web portal activities

Account creation is NOT required for basic web portal activities.

Use the WebPortal without creating an account to:

  • View utility responses to existing requests.
  • View, print, & check the positive response posted to a specific request
  • Enter a single address ticket through the Homeowner Portal without creating an account.

Click the Find Tickets link in the upper left corner of the page to search for a specific request by number or follow the direct link from your email confirmation. (Note: If you receive a “request not found” error from the confirmation link you may need to clear your browser cache, log out, or try to search from a different browser.)

Create an account in order to:

  • Renew locate requests
  • Perform advanced ticket searches
  • Post responses
