White lining clearly communicates the dig area and is a best practice for safe digging. Ensure your excavation site is well marked to prevent damage and set up for safety.

811 only marks public utility lines. That means water, gas, sewer, and telecom lines running from the street to your home or business are covered—but privately installed lines are not. You’ll need to hire a #PrivateUtilities locator to ensure everything is marked before you dig.

Did you know? The soil beneath your feet holds a wealth of resources. For example, there are over 20 million miles of underground infrastructure in the U.S. alone!

Utility companies have varying service areas and workloads, so sometimes facilities will get marked at different times.
Once you submit your locate request, allow time for all lines to be marked before you dig, and don’t dig before you’re sure ALL lines have been marked.

We know you’ve got a green thumb, but did you get the “thumbs up” to dig that new garden?
Don’t cut corners, remember to contact 811 to have your underground utilities marked before you dig.

Digging without contacting 811 can lead to serious consequences, including utility damage, service disruptions, and even personal injury. Imagine hitting a gas line or severing a water line—these mistakes can be costly and dangerous. #Contact811

Heads up to all contractors: submitting a locate request, waiting for marks, respecting tolerance zones, and communicating clearly with utility owners all lead to one important outcome: fewer damages to underground utilities. 811 before you excavate during #NDSM and EVERY month.
