It’s Time to Celebrate Safe Digging Month!
April is a great time to start those outdoor projects—but before you pick up a shovel, make sure you’re digging safely! Always contact Arizona 811 at least two full working days before you dig to have underground utility lines marked. Utility lines can vary in depth, and several lines may be located in the same spot, so having them marked keeps everyone safe.
After you contact 811:
• Wait until you hear back from all the utility companies listed on your ticket.
• Hand-dig within two feet of the marked lines and protect any exposed lines.
• Keep all locate marks visible during your project, they’re valid for 15 days.
Digging safely helps prevent injuries, damage, and outages. Calling 811 is easy, free, and required by law.
