White lining clearly communicates the dig area and is a best practice for safe digging. Ensure your excavation site is well marked to set your site up for damage prevention.

811 only marks public utility lines. That means water, gas, sewer, and telecom lines running from the street to your home or business are covered—but privately installed lines are not. You’ll need to hire a #PrivateUtilities locator to ensure everything is marked before you dig.

Did you know? The #soil beneath your feet holds a wealth of resources. For example, there are over 20 million miles of underground #infrastructure in the U.S. alone!
Stay informed and #dig with confidence.
Utility companies have varying service areas and workloads, so sometimes facilities will get marked at different times.
Once you submit a markout, allow time for all lines to be marked before you dig, and don’t dig before you’re sure ALL lines have been marked.

Digging without contacting 811 can lead to serious consequences, including utility damage, service disruptions, and even personal injury. Always file a markout before you dig to avoid these risks and ensure a smooth, safe project. #undergroundutility
