π§ April is Safe Digging Month in Massachusetts π§
As spring projects get underway, it’s important to remember: always call 811 before you dig.
Whether you’re planting a tree, installing a mailbox, or starting a larger project, a quick call to Dig Safe helps prevent damage to underground utilities—and protects you, your family, and your community.
Hitting a gas, electric, water, or communication line can cause serious injury, service disruptions, and costly repairs. Even small projects using a shovel can lead to big problems.
In Massachusetts, the law requires you to contact Dig Safe at least 72 hours before digging—and the service is free.
Plan ahead, confirm utility lines are marked, and make sure contractors have called before any work begins.
π Call 811 or visit 811beforeyoudig.com to get started.
Let’s work together to keep our communities safe this spring.
