5 Steps for Safe Digging

Working on an outdoor project? Always call 811 first, because you never know what’s below. Here are five easy steps for safe digging.

1. Notify

Call 8-1-1or make a request online two to three days before you start.

2. Wait

Wait two to three days for a response to your request. Affected utilities will send a locator to mark any underground utility lines.

3. Confirm

Confirm that all affected utilities have responded by comparing the markers to the list of utilities the 8-1-1 call center notified.

4. Respect

Respect the markers provided by the affected utilities. They are your guide for the duration of your project.

5. Dig Carefully

If you can’t avoid digging near the markers (within 18-24 inches on all sides, depending on state laws), consider moving your project.
