You are pouring concrete or laying asphalt to widen your driveway for an extra car or RV.

Call 811. Look for utility boxes in the grass right next to the current driveway.
The grass next to the driveway often hides the main water shutoff for the entire house.
Pouring concrete over a city water meter is illegal. You will be forced by the municipality to saw-cut the new driveway and rebuild the meter box at your own expense.

Contact a Private Utility Locator before you cover.
