Call before you digKnow what's below

NOV -4 20t6

Public ServiceComi

if your fall projects require digging-

such as planting trees or shrubs, or

setting posts-please stop and dial

811 first.

Underground utilities, such as

buried gas, water, and electric lines,

can be a shovel thrust away from

turning a fall project into a disaster.

Play it safe by dialing 811to find out

where utility

lines run on

your property.

Your call will

be routed to a local "one call" center.

Tellthe operator where you're planning

to dig and what type of work you will

be doing, and affected local utilities will

be notified.

In a few days, a locator will arrive

to designate the approximate location

of any underground lines, pipes, and

cables. These areas will be marked with

flags or paint so you will know where

it's safe to dig.

Although many homeowners

tackling do-it-yourself digging projects

are aware of "Call Before You Dig"

services, over

50 percent of

people do not

take advantage

of the service according

to Common Ground Alliance (CGA), a

federally mandated group of under

ground utility and damage prevention

industry professionals. CGA data also

shows that an underground utility line

is damaged every six minutes in the

U.S. because someone decided to dig

without first dialing 811.

Even simple tasks like installing a

new mailbox post can damage utility

lines, which can disrupt service to an

entire neighborhood, harm diggers,

and potentially result in fines and

repair costs.

Never assume the location or depth

of underground utility lines. The 811

service is free, prevents the inconve

nience of having utilities interrupted,

and can help you avoid serious injury.
