811 Dig Alert

CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG
Planning a home improvement job? Planting a tree? Installing a fence or deck?
- WAIT!
Whether you are planning to do it yourself or hire a professional, smart digging means calling 811 before each job.
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.
