CALL BEFORE YOU DIG

Every Dig. Every Time.

To avoid injury and disruptions, residents and businesses should remember these six tips before starting any project:

  • Call 811 at least three days before digging, regardless of the depth or familiarity with the property.
  • Have a plan. Call on Monday or Tuesday for work planned for an upcoming weekend, providing ample time for the approximate location of lines to be marked.
  • Confirm that all lines have been marked.
  • Consider moving the Location of your project if it is near utility line markings.
  • If a contractor has been hired, confirm that the contractor has called 811. Do not allow work to begin if the lines arenot marked.
  • Visit call811.com formore information.
