What is Dig Safe^® ?

Dig Safe® is a not-for-profit clearinghouse that notifies participating utility companies of your plans to dig. In turn, these utilities (or their contract locating companies) respond to mark out the location of their underground facilities. Dig Safe is a free service, funded entirely by its member utility companies. (Note: Dig Safe Does Not Mark Utility Lines)

It’s a risk to make faulty assumptions about when to notify Dig Safe. That’s why state law requires you to notify Dig Safe for even small projects, like installing a mailbox or planting shrubs. The depth of utility lines vary, and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area.

It’s important to know what’s below. Call 811 to avoid utility service disruption to an entire neighborhood, harm to you and those around you, as well as fines and repair costs.

For the purpose of clarity: Dig Safe marks ONLY the public utility lines owned and maintained by that company Dig Safe does not mark the secondary utility lines (electric lines running from the home to the meter, septic/leach field/drains, or private water lines.) These are the lines that are owned and maintained by the Association.
