Call 811 Before You Dig

Whenever you're planning a project that requires digging in your yard (gardening, landscaping, home improvements, demolition, etc.), call 811 first.

• Find where your utility lines are before you dig.
• Careless digging can damage underground lines, causing disruption of vital services, property damage, and even possible injury.
• Take the proper steps to avoid damage and prevent expensive repairs, project delays and costly fines.

Be safe & call 811 before you dig!

Carbon Monoxide – What is it? How do I detect it?

• Carbon monoxide, or "CO" is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that can kill you.
• Your best defense is prevention. Install a CO detector in your home and check or replace the battery regularly. A good time is when you change the time on your clocks each spring and fall.
• The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.

If you suspect carbon monoxide exposure: LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY, call 911 and seek medical attention.
