Safe Digging: Call 811 Before Starting Any Excavation Project.

This resolution supports National Safe Digging Month, urging all homeowners and professional excavators to use the free 811 service before digging. Calling 811 ensures that underground utility lines (gas, electric, water, telecom) are marked, preventing dangerous accidents, service outages, and costly property damage. This simple step protects public safety and essential infrastructure.
Key points
Always contact 811 (phone or online) before starting any digging project, even shallow ones, to locate buried utility lines.
Preventing damage to utilities like gas and electricity protects you from injury, avoids service interruptions, and saves money on repairs.
