Call Before You Dig!
Natural gas lines are buried underground. This means it’s important to know where those lines are before digging. If you dig into a natural gas line or other utility line, it can result in a serious injury, or a service outage for you and your neighbors, and an expensive repair.
Even if you’re just digging a small hole for a bush or a fence post or installing a basketball goal, call 811 to have utility lines marked before you start digging.
Within a day or so after you call 811, utility representatives will visit your home to mark the utility lines with paint or flags.
What do the colors mean?
Different colors are used to mark each different utility line. Below is a guide to what each color means.
