PSE&G reminds everyone to Dial 811 to Call Before You Dig
NEWARK, N.J., May 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- May is NJ Underground
Damage Prevention Month, and PSE&G is reminding customers,
contractors and excavators that they must call before digging to
avoid hitting underground gas and electric lines. To make it easy
to call, 811 has been designated as the national dialing code to
have underground lines located and marked. Here's important
information to consider: -- Underground gas and electric lines are
everywhere, even on individual properties. You can easily damage
them if you don't know where they are. Digging into these lines can
disrupt vital utility services and result in costly delays,
expensive repairs and environmental or property damage. Worse, you
can seriously injure yourself or others. -- Whether planning a
major home improvement project or installing something as simple as
a fence or mailbox post, a call must be placed beforehand to know
where it's safe to dig. -- Call 811 or 1-800-272-1000 at least four
business days before each job to have underground pipes, wires and
equipment located. Utility workers will respond and place markers
where utility lines are buried, free of charge. -- Be sure to wait
three full business days after calling before doing any digging. --
Respect the marks. Always hand dig within two feet of marked lines.
-- Not only is it a good idea to call before you dig, it's the law.
