Hold that shovel, belay that backhoe!

Gardening, excavating, constructing or digging? Tomorrow, Saturday, August 11 (8/11) is National 811 Day, a reminder that you – or your contractor – should always call 811 before any digging occurs to have your underground utilities marked and prevent hitting a gas line or other underground utilities. It’s free, and it’s the law. You must call 811 and allow three business days (72 hours) before any digging commences. Don’t go BOOM! For more natural gas safety info, go to mlgw.com.
