CALL BEFORE YOU DIGCALL BEFORE YOU DIGCALL BEFORE YOU DIGCall 811 before beginning any excavation project no matter how big orsmall the project is going to be.By law, people performing excavation or construction activities arerequired to call 811 at least 48 to 72 hours before beginning work.Damage from excavation-related activities is the leading cause ofpipeline incidents, so always call 811 before you dig. This includesstarting home protects such as installing a fence, widening a driveway orplanting a tree.

White Lining Anyone digging is encouraged to pre-mark the ground with white paint,stakes or flags to show the specific area where excavation will take place.This process, known as white lining, ensures accuracy and prevents utilitycompanies from locating and marking unnecessary areas.
