Call 811 at least 48 hours (two business days) Before you Dig — It's free and it's the law

• Whether planting a tree, installing mailbox or pouring concrete, protect yourself and others from injury and prevent service outages call 811 at least 48 hours before you dig to have your underground utility lines marked for FREE.
