Call 811 B4 U Dig

Be shovel-ready.
Call 811 before you dig!

Now that the weather is so nice, it’s tempting to break ground in your eagerness to start an outdoor project like building a fence or planting a tree. But do you know what lies underground where you plan to dig? Natural gas pipelines and other utility lines weave beneath the surface throughout our community.

Major gas pipelines are marked with a yellow caution sign. But secondary lines aren’t as easily identifiable. Don’t risk hitting a gas line, disrupting neighborhood service, and facing potential fines and repair costs. Before you begin digging, contact Tennessee One Call at 811 to request that a professional locating crew mark the underground utility lines on your property. The service is free, and it is federally mandated.
