Working on the job or in the yard, you never know where you might find electricity.

Call before you dig

The same power lines that support our lifestyles, homes and businesses could stop you dead in your tracks.

Always call before starting any work.

Whether you are a contractor working on a site or a homeowner working around your own home, digging can be dangerous if you don't check first for underground wiring or cable. Underground wires could be power, telephone or cable television. Or there could be other underground utilities such as natural gas lines, water or sewers. Learn more about Call Before You Dig.
