No one wants to hear an explosion in their neighborhood; but it happens. Damage to a natural gas line can cause a leak and lead to an explosion and fire. "Call 811 Day" is an effort to keep accidents like that from happening.
National Call 811 Day is August 11 (8/11). It is a reminder to call 811 before you, or a contractor, do any digging on your property It is a free service, and it is the law!
Dig Safely
Calling 811 notifies companies (like MLGW) to come out and mark your underground utilities.
Dig Safely
When lines are marked you can dig safely and avoid hitting an underground electric, gas, or other type of line. Hitting a buried line can disrupt service to your neighborhood. It can even cause a fatal accident. Stay safe and always call 811 before you dig.
