· I have a job that requires digging.
“CALL Before You Dig” number is 811. Use it before you begin any digging project. 811 is a federally mandated national number created to help people from unintentionally hitting utility lines while working on digging projects. Every digging job requires a call – even small projects like planting trees or shrubs. If you hit an underground utility line while digging, you can harm yourself or those around you, disrupt an entire neighborhood and potentially be responsible for fines and repair costs. Smart digging means calling 811 before each job and the best thing is that utility lines are marked for FREE!
