A garden, a tree, maybe a new pool? If you're digging this spring, remember to check with PSEG first!

Here’s How It Works:

- Always call the one call center before digging within the required time frame at 1-800-272-1000 or 811.
- Be ready with all-important information: the municipality, street address, extent of work, caller’s name, contact person name, address and phone numbers.
- Wait for the site to be marked. Marking can be in colored paint, flags or stakes.
- Respect and protect the facility operator’s marks. Note the color of all markings used and what type of facilities they indicate.
- Dig with care. Always hand dig within two feet on either side of any marked lines.
- If damage, dislocation or disturbance of an underground utility line occurs, immediately notify the affected facility, utility or pipeline.
- If damage creates an emergency, take immediate steps to safeguard health and property, call 911.

For your reference, the color code markings for utilities are: Red (electric); yellow (gas, oil, dangerous materials, product and steam lines); Orange (CATV communication); Blue (water); Green (sewer); White (proposed excavation).
