Dig this: Contact 811 before breaking ground

Each year, Colorado 811 observes and celebrates April as National Safe Digging Month. Whether you’re a homeowner wanting to refresh your yard or a professional excavator, it’s important to contact 811 before you dig.

Request a free utility locate by visiting www.Colorado811.org or dialing 811 at least three business days before you start digging work of any extent or depth.

Professional utility locators will use flags and paint to mark the locations of underground electric, gas, cable, phone and other lines within the designated area. Click here for steps on how to get started.
