A few lines of paint can prevent a major outage.
The markings you see on roads, sidewalks, and job sites represent critical infrastructure beneath the surface: electric, gas, communications, water, and more.
Before any excavation begins, those marks help crews understand what’s below so work can be performed safely and responsibly.

Contact 811. Wait for utilities to be marked. Dig with confidence.
Because every mark tells a story and every story matters.
