April marks National Safe Digging Month, and with the warmer weather approaching, many homeowners will begin their outdoor home improvement projects.
UGI urges all property owners to call 811 before starting to dig, since utility lines may be located mere inches beneath the ground's surface.
This is a simple, cost-free method to guarantee the security of your excavation by indicating the locations of buried utilities such as gas, water, and electrical lines.
A new survey indicates that 27 million homeowners intend to dig this year without contacting 811, which could lead to potential harm, damages, or even more severe consequences.
Keep in mind, regardless of whether you're a homeowner or a contractor, dialing 811 is mandatory, and it's an easy action that can prevent accidents.
