 According to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, pipelines are the safest method of transporting the refined
petroleum products you put in your car or truck, use to heat your home or that
commercial jets needs to keep their industry aloft. 
To help prevent such accidents from occurring, you
should call "8-1-1" before you dig. This is national number that connects you
with a One-Call Center which will notify the pipeline or other utility which may
be buried in the area. The utility will send a representative to your digging
site to mark the exact location of the buried pipeline or other utility.
Excavators and homeowners should call "8-1-1" before
starting any digging project for fences, flagpoles, landscaping, storage
buildings, foundations, swimming pools, ground clearing, deep plowing, laying
underground pipe or wiring. By taking the time to call, you can prevent
disruption of service, accidents, injuries and possibly death.
The One-Call system should be contacted at least 48 hours in advance
before digging. In most states, this is the law. In all cases, it’s the safe
thing to do.
Remember the "8-1-1" number and to Call Before You Dig. |
