For Residents (Private Property):

  • Call 811 before you dig. 
  • There are millions of miles of buried utilities that are vital to everyday living, like water, electricity, and natural gas. Accidentally hitting one of these lines can lead to major problems throughout the community, and cost you a great expense, so always request a line locate through 811 prior to digging on your private property. 

When can I dig?

  1. Wait until crews have marked their lines before you begin to dig. Within a few days of your call, crews will mark their lines with paint or flags. The depths of the utility lines may vary, so be careful when working near those areas.
  2.  Once the area is clearly marked, you may begin to work - carefully around the marks.
