Grab the phone before you grab your shovel.

Whether it's just planting a tree or installing a new sprinkler system, the law requires individuals to call before digging to avoid damaging utilities. We will come out and mark underground utility lines in colored paint, free of charge. This will help you avoid cutting into underground utilities, potential harm and costs associated with damage.

Dial 811 or call (800) 424-5555 to schedule an appointment, which must be made two days in advance. Find more information and enter your request online.
