Digging and Overhead Safety
Electricity is delivered via overhead or underground cables and natural gas is delivered by pipes buried underground. Be aware of your utilities before you dig, start a yard project or plant trees. To identify underground utilities before you dig, call 811 or the traditional 800 number in your state. Utility locaters will come to your site to track, locate and mark all your underground lines. The service is free in most states and could save time, money and possibly your life.
