\n Not contacting 811 before digging is the top driver of damages to buried utilities every year.\n <\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Shovels <\/strong> can harm utilities!\n <\/h2>\n

\n While backhoes are the #1 tool used when buried utilities are damaged, shovels are #2 -- even ``small`` projects can have big impacts.\n <\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Shallow digging <\/strong> is still digging!\n <\/h2>\n

\n Some utilities can be buried just inches below the surface -- every digging project, regardless of depth, requires contacting 811 a few days in advance.\n <\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
