Call Before You Dig

Know What’s Below

Before you begin any construction project, call 811 and schedule locates of all underground utility lines and pipes to prevent damage to underground facilities, service interruptions and bodily injury.

Save Your Life 

Many things lie buried beneath the ground. Power lines and gas lines are two of the most deadly.

Save Your Property 

Fire or explosion could result from a damaged line.

Save Money 

It doesn’t cost anything to call in a locate request. With one quick telephone call, all utilities in your area will be notified to come and mark the location of their lines.

It’s the Law 

According to RCW 19.122, anyone digging deeper than 12 inches must call for locates two business days before they dig. This holds true for private property, city, county, state or federal lands and railroad right-of-way.

When You Call - Two business days before:

• Be prepared to pinpoint the location of your dig site
• Describe the type of work to be done
• Know start date and time
