In California, everyone is required by law – whether you are a contractor or ordinary citizen – to call the free DigAlert service to get underground utilities marked out before performing any excavations.įailure to do so can result in fines of up to $50,000, and you could be held liable for costs related to repair of damaged underground equipment. You can all help our region achieve this resolution by calling 811 before you dig. In 2019, let’s collectively resolve to reduce the number of these so-called dig-ins.
Did you know that in the last year alone, there were more than 380 dig-in incidents in our region where underground utility lines were damaged by shovels and excavators? That’s double the number in 2010!
