Why Call 811?

  • Prevent service interruptions, costly repairs, and potential injuries.
  • Have underground utility lines marked to ensure safe digging.

How it Works:

  1. Contact 811: Call or submit a request online at least two business days before digging.
  2. Lines Are Marked: Utility professionals mark underground lines with paint or flags.
  3. Dig Safely: Avoid the marked areas to prevent damage.

This service is free and required by law for any digging projects, such as building, landscaping, or installing structures.
