That's not a wrong number — that's your reminder.

Aug. 11 (8-1-1, get it?) is 811 Day, and it's the perfect nudge to remember: Any digging project, even a small one like planting flowers or setting a fence post, starts with contacting 811.

It's free, it's fast and it's the only way to know what's buried beneath your yard before you break ground.

Skipping it isn't a shortcut — it's a gamble with gas lines, water mains and more. Contact 811 first, dig second.

Tomorrow is 8/11 Day (Aug. 11, or 8-1-1 on the calendar) a vital reminder to call 8-1-1 before you dig!

Striking buried utilities can lead to serious accidents and costly damage, but there’s a simple, free way to prevent it.

Always dial 8-1-1 before every dig, every time to keep yourself and your community safe!
