👷‍♂️Big or Small, Call 811 🏡

Whether you’re moving earth on a major construction site or planting a new tree in the yard, the risk is the same: hidden underground utilities.

Contact 811 before you dig. It’s free, fast, and keeps everyone safe.

Let’s protect crews, communities, and homeowners together.

⚡ Hidden Danger: Electric Lines

Not all power lines run high overhead — many are buried underground, sometimes just a foot below the surface. Striking one can cause serious injury, outages, or worse.

👉 Safety Tip: Hand-dig carefully within the tolerance zone after utility companies mark the area.

Before you dig, always call 811 or submit a ticket at CBYD.com

💧A crew in Hartford punctured a massive water main. Their CBYD ticket had expired, and the marks had faded. Thousands of homes could have lost water.

The lesson?
▶️ Tickets expire after 30 days
▶️ Refresh markings if they're unclear
▶️ Walk the site before you dig

Calling 811 isn't one-and-done. Safety is ongoing.

💻 Fiber = fragile lifelines.

A single shovel strike could knock out internet for an entire block, school, or business. With millions of miles of fiber buried across the U.S., these lines are more common than you think.

👉 Tip: Even if you’ve dug there before, lines may have been added since your last dig. Always call 811 before starting.

Every 6 minutes in the U.S., an underground utility line is damaged during digging.

The Cause? Most often those digging didn’t call 811.

Consider what’s beneath your feet:
- High-Voltage Power
- Fiber Optics
- Water Mains and more

You can’t see it, but 811 can help you avoid it.

👉 Always contact CBYD before you dig at CBYD.com or by calling 811.
