August 11th serves as a natural reminder for residents to contact 811 at least two full working days prior to any digging project to have underground utility lines marked.
Striking a single line can cause injury, repair costs, inconvenient outages, and fines. Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants contacting 811 by phone or online. Installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree, and laying a patio are just some examples of digging projects that need a call to 811 before starting.
