BEFORE YOU DIG - DIAL 811. ITS THE LAW
Digging can be dangerous. There are buried utilities throughout the city. Hitting a utility line can be both dangerous and costly. Without knowing the locations of the buried utilities, you jeopardize your safety as well as others and risk the inconvenience of being without the service.
Before beginning any project that requires you to move earth, Dial 811. This is a free service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The locate center will contact the city and the utility departments will mark their lines within 3 business days. Wait the required time - at least 3 business days. Once lines are marked, dig with care and dig safely by hand digging within 18 inches of any marking.
