It’s 8/11 Day! 🦺

Whether you’re planting a tree, putting in a fence or starting a larger project, every dig should start the same way: contact 811 before you dig.

Taking a few minutes to contact 811 helps make sure underground utilities are marked before the shovels come out, helping prevent outages, costly damage and serious injuries.

Big project or small, contact 811 before you dig. Every dig, every time.
