Call Before You Dig
Anyone who plans to dig should call 811 or go to https://www.pa1call.org/ before digging to request that the approximate location of buried utilities be marked with paint or flags so that you do not unintentionally dig into an underground utility line. You should call a few business days before you begin any digging, including common projects like planting trees and shrubs or installing fences and mailboxes. The specific amount of advance notice that you are required to provide varies by state.
Things you will need to know:
-
The address of where you plan to dig, including the county and nearest cross street, as well as the type of project you are completing.
-
The exact area on the property where you are planning to dig. Whether you call 811 or make your request online, you will need the same info.
After calling 811, you need to wait a few days to allow utilities to respond to your request and ensure that all utilities have indeed responded to your request before breaking ground. Once all utilities have marked their buried lines, you should dig carefully around any utility marks and consider relocating projects that are close to buried utilities.
