Mondays can be tough, so let's start the week with gratitude.

We're thankful for the communities we serve and the safety measures that protect them. November is a great time to reflect on what matters most—safe, thriving neighborhoods.

Let's keep up the good work!

GSOC is not a utility company and does not physically locate underground utility lines. We’re the resource for submitting excavation notifications and ensuring that utilities and locators are aware of your digging plans and mark the location of buried utility lines.

[GopherStateOneCall @GopherOneCall]

In addition to contacting GSOC, we recommend contacting a private utility locator to ensure any private utility lines like sprinkler lines, propane or privately owned gas lines, or exterior electrical lines are marked as well. This can help ensure a smoother, safer project.

November 11, 2026 (#VeteransDay) will not count towards your standard notice required when filing a locate request, so please plan accordingly.

Happy Halloween! Let the only thing that gives you a fright
tonight, be the ghosts and goblins, not an unexpected encounter with a utility line!

Remember, hitting a line can be downright spooky. Stay safe and always contact GSOC before you dig.

Have you ever wondered what those stumps adorned with white spray paint or flags mean? This is "white lining," a crucial step before any excavation project. It's more than just paint and flags—it's the art of safe and well-planned digging!

Did you know that fiber optic cables transmit data at the speed of light? While these cables make your internet super fast, they're also very fragile. Don't risk disrupting your neighborhood's connection to the digital world. Contact GSOC before you dig.
