811

After eight-ten

811 is the national "Call Before You Dig" phone number in the United States and Canada.

Dialing connects callers to local utility locating services that mark underground lines—gas, electric, water, cable—before excavation begins.

The service prevents accidental strikes during construction or landscaping: Make sure you call 811 before digging that fence post.
