Do you know what to do before you starting digging?
Excavation activities as simple as planting a tree, installation of landscaping, building a fence, installation of a swimming pool, or replacing a mailbox require a call to 811.
This ensures that underground utility lines are marked so you can dig safely.
The call and the service to locate your lines in free!
Before You Dig, Do Your Part.
- Call 811: A free phone call to 811 will start the process to get pipelines marked.
- Wait: Once a free phone call to 811 is made, wait the required amount of time for underground utilities to mark the proposed work area.
- Respect All Markings: Make sure worksite is clearly outlined and do not dig where underground utilities are marked. To change the location of project, start from Step 1.
- Dig With Care: If a buried pipeline is struck, the owner of that utility should be contacted immediately. Unreported damage, including damage to pipeline coating or denting of the pipe, can lead to an accident days or even years later.
