Did you know that a locate request to NY811 only leads to *public* utility lines being marked? That means water, gas, sewer, and telecom lines running from the street to your home or business are covered—but privately installed lines are not.

Private lines may include: - Underground sprinkler systems
- Propane or private gas lines
- Landscape lighting wiring
- Invisible pet fences

If you’re digging near private utilities, you’ll need to hire a private utility locator to ensure everything is marked before you break ground. Taking this extra step helps prevent costly damage and ensures a safer worksite.

On this Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As National Safe Digging Month comes to a close, we have to remember that damage prevention doesn't stop here!

Keep safe digging habits alive and well all year, because safety is important all year round.

Damaging underground utilities could have serious impacts:
- Telecom damage can disrupt 911 and internet services
- Gas facility damage can create explosion hazards
- Electric damage can cause injury and outages
- Water damage can flood job sites and homes

Underground is a shared space.
Contact New York 811 before you dig.
