Call Before You Dig
KNOW WHAT'S BELOW!
Call (800) 344 - 8377 or visit Texas 811 website before you dig.
What happens if I dig without requesting locates?
If you do not contact 811 before digging, it is quite possible that you will dig into a buried underground utility and potentially create a life-threatening situation, you can be billed for damages, or even cause an outage to an essential utility service. Even if you have used the service before and you think you know where the underground utilities are, you need to contact 811 before every digging project to protect yourself.
Remeber, it is a free service! Not contacting could cost you thousands in damages.
