Call Before You Dig: Protect Your Property & Safety

Are you planning to dig on your property? Remember to “Call Before You Dig” to ensure safety and prevent costly mishaps. Identifying underground utilities beforehand is crucial to avoid dangerous encounters with buried utility lines.

Why Locate Underground Utilities?

Before embarking on any digging project—whether for planting a garden, installing a fence post, or building a swimming pool—it’s essential to check for buried electric lines or other utilities. Accidentally hitting an underground line could not only interrupt electrical service for you and your neighbors but could also cause serious injury or death.
