A leading cause of pipeline accidents results from improper excavations. If you are a homeowner, farmer, excavator or developer, remember to call 811 before you dig to help prevent accidental pipeline ruptures and accidents. 

Call Before You Dig. 
It's the Law.

Before You Dig, Do Your Part.

1. Call 811:
   A free phone call to 811 will start the process to get pipelines marked.
   
2. Wait:
   It takes two working days for the site to be marked.
   
3. Respect All Markings:
   
   If a buried pipeline is struck, the owner of that utility should be contacted immediately.
4. Dig With Care:
   Unreported damage, including damage to pipeline coating or denting of the pipeline, can lead to an accident days or even years later.
