Call Before You Dig



Even though we might have three inches of snow tomorrow, chances are it'll be sunny and 50 degrees on Sunday.

If you are planning a home improvement job, planting a tree, installing a fence or deck remember to call 811 before you start! (Even if you are hiring a professional!)

Homeowners often make risky assumptions about whether or not they should get their utility lines marked, but every digging job requires a call – even small projects like planting trees and shrubs.

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.

Calling 811 or hiring a local underground utility company to come out and use GPR are always recommended precautions.
