Why you need to call 811 before digging in your yard or garden [Video]

Before you do any digging — even if it’s a small project — call 811 to make sure you don’t accidentally hit a gas line. Last year in Arizona, 80% of infrastructure damage caused by homeowners on their property was the result of not calling 811 first. Ensuring you make the call two working days before beginning any digging project is critical to preventing accidents or causing service outages in your area and helps sustain our communities with uninterrupted, reliable gas service. “Call 811” line marking service is free for residential and commercial digging jobs of all sizes and for all types of projects, and it is the law.
