Call before you dig

A new, federally-mandated national "Call Before you Dig" number, 811, was created to help protect anyone from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines while working on digging projects. Every digging job requires a call – even small projects like planting trees or shrubs. If someone hits an underground utility line or pipeline while digging, they can harm themselves or those around them, disrupt service to an entire neighborhood and potentially be responsible for fines and repair costs.
