August 11 is a Date To Remember About Diggers Hotline

Aug. 11 is almost here, and Diggers Hotline hopes that the 8/11 date on the calendar will serve as a natural reminder for residents to dial 811 prior to any digging project. Every few minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first dialing 811, which can lead to utility outages, expensive repairs or catastrophic consequences. Dialing 811 puts you in contact with Diggers Hotline to make a free request to have the location of buried utility lines marked with paint or flags. Requests can also be made online at www.DiggersHotline.com.
