Call 811 Before You Dig on Your Property
Do you have a digging project coming up?
Call 811 before you dig to keep your home and community safe.
Having your lines marked 2 days before any digging project will help keep you safe!
Underneath our feet is a system of complex lines delivering natural gas, electricity and other utilities to our homes. If you plan on digging a hole — big or small — on your property, be sure to call 811 to have your lines marked. Having your lines marked will help you avoid injuries, property damage and costly repairs (approximately $3,500).
If you are planning a digging project, join an 811 Safe Digging Webinar to learn more.
What to do:
You can start by marking the location where you need to dig with chalk, white paint or flags.
PRO TIP: You need to call 811 for any size digging project including planting a tree, removing a stump, replacing a fence or irrigation work.
Call 811 at least two working days before you plan to start your project.
A PG&E representative will visit and mark gas and electrical line locations for free.
Once your lines are safely marked, you can move forward with your digging project!
