Did you know that “shallow digging” is the No. 1 reason homeowners give for not notifying 811 they are going to dig? Some utilities are buried just a few inches below the surface. If you don’t know what’s below before you dig, you can cause damage and loss of essential services.

If your spring and summer projects call for any depth of digging, contact 811 before you dig!
