Did you know every nine minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first calling 811? The risk of injury or even death is serious. Beyond the devastating risks of death or injury, consider the costs of repair, fines, and even inconvenience. From putting in a fence, planting a tree, or building a deck, knowing where the power and water lines are before you dig will save a lot of time, money, and pain later. Whether it is a small project or a large home improvement project, National Safe Digging Month is a way to remind us all to call 811 before starting any digging project.
