Did you know? According to PA One Call, every few minutes, an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to dig without first contacting 811. Striking an underground utility line can cause repair costs, fines, inconvenient power outages, injury and even death. This can all be avoided by calling the 8-1-1 hotline in advance! 811 Day (Aug. 11) serves as a convenient and timely reminder for homeowners and contractors to always contact 8-1-1 at least three business days before any excavation project to avoid damaging buried utilities and to stay safe. With safety being a top priority at DLC, we’re proud to support ongoing awareness for this important cause.
