Call Before You Dig
A shovel hitting an underground power line can be as dangerous as contacting an overhead line. When planting trees, digging holes for fence posts, installing underground sprinklers or for other digging projects, please play it safe.
Call 811 to reach your local utility locating service at least 48 hours before you start the job. Using this free service could save your life.
