Before You Dig

Whether you are planning to do it yourself or hire a professional, smart digging means calling 811 before each job. Every digging job requires a call, even small projects like planting trees and shrubs, as the depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area. Digging without calling can disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, harm you and those around you and potentially result in fines and repair costs. Calling 811 before every digging job gets your underground utility lines marked for free and helps prevent undesired consequences. Please visit http://www.call811.com/ for more information.
