Dig Safely

Protecting America’s underground lifelines: Dial 811 when planning any digging or construction project.

• Under a new program, homeowners, excavators and contractors throughout the nation can now simply dial 811 to have underground facilities marked. For more information, go to www.call811.com.
• Placing a phone call to 811 or dialing the State One-Call center directly gets your underground utility lines marked for free. Knowing where lines are buried before digging protects you from injury, expense and possible penalties.
• If dialing 811 doesn’t connect you to your state one-call center, read about your state’s program here.
