Before You Dig
State laws require anyone who digs to notify utility companies
before starting, and for good reason. Digging can be dangerous
and costly without knowing where underground facilities are located.
Dig Safe System, Inc. is a communication network, assisting excavators,
contractors and property owners in complying with state law by
notifying the appropriate utilities before digging. Dig SafeĻ,
a free service, notifies member companies of proposed excavation
projects. In turn, these member utilities respond to the work area
and identify the location of underground facilities. Callers are
given a permit number as confirmation.
The toll free number is:
