POWERLINE SAFETY WEEK
Halton Hills Hydro urges anyone working or spending time outdoors to stay alert and exercise caution around powerlines, and to always request a utility locate before digging. Common projects like landscaping, building a deck, or removing seasonal lighting can become hazardous if overhead powerlines are nearby or underground utilities are disturbed.
Even a brief moment of inattention around powerlines or buried infrastructure can result in serious injury or death. To stay safe, whether you’re relaxing outside, working on your property, or on a job site, remember three simple steps: Stop. Look. Live.
Call before you dig, its the law!
