Protect What’s Underground—Call Before You Dig

Planning a fence, planting trees, building a deck, or breaking ground on a new project? If you’re digging—even just a few inches—it’s critical to know what lies beneath your property.

Propane lines may run underground from your tank to your home or business. Striking one of these lines during digging can be extremely dangerous and lead to gas leaks, property damage, or serious injury.

Call Before You Dig – It’s the Law

Before starting any digging project, you are required to contact 811 at least two business days in advance. This free service will locate and mark all utility lines on your property so you can dig safely.
