Before starting any outdoor digging project, it is essential to call 811 first. Whether planting a tree, installing a fence, or building a garden bed, knowing what lies beneath the surface is crucial.
Calling 811 connects individuals to their local utility marking service, which can mark underground lines for free. This step helps prevent injuries, service disruptions, and costly repairs.
An easy call to 811 can save lives and protect property. It is advised to plan ahead and call at least two to three days before digging. This service is fast, free, and legally required in most places.
The initiative aims to promote safe digging practices this spring.
