If you’re planning a project that requires breaking ground, you must call 811 before you dig so underground utilities can be properly located and marked. This “call before you dig” resource was created to streamline the process and provide you with an easily accessible way to have all utilities notified at once. Remember, every dig requires a call. You can be responsible for damages if you do not call 811 in advance of your project.
