Did April Showers Bring May Flowers?
Be sure not to ruin a beautiful day by digging unsafely. Small projects like planting flowers and veggies require contacting 811 before you start digging. Utility lines can be buried just inches below the surface. Once you call 811 or visit call811.com, your utilities will be marked out within 3 business days. Then you can work on your new garden safely.
Notice Utility Flags in Your Neighborhood or on Your Property?
Flags are used to identify underground lines to show you where to avoid when working on your outside projects. Yellow flags are used to mark the natural gas lines (learn more here). The yellow flags include a QR code if you're interested in finding out the type of work being done in the area. After you scan, you'll be directed to the One Call Search & Status form.
