For all of you contractors, homeowners, and other weekend warriors out there who are anxious to start those outdoor projects ~ Be sure to call 811 before you start any excavation on your property. This service will connect you to participating utility companies such as electric, gas, cable and phone to alert them as to any planned digging so they can mark the appropriate location of their underground lines.
A 48 – hour notice is needed to give workers time to come out to mark the property.
Ii is free, it will keep you and yours safe, and it’s the law.
It’s also much better than calling 911.
