Spring break, blooming flowers and warming temperatures are all hallmarks of spring time in Northern and Central California. So is April’s National Safe Digging Month – a public safety initiative supported by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and more than 1,000 other utilities – that raises awareness about the importance of having underground utility lines marked in advance of any digging project. It’s a nation-wide effort to help keep people safe while doing projects big and small.
According to the Common Ground Alliance’s damage information reporting tool, an underground utility line is damaged every nine minutes in the United States. With spring typically regarded as the ideal time to begin home improvement projects and new construction, PG&E is urging customers to help stop dig-ins by placing a toll-free call to 811 or an online request to have gas and electric lines marked free of charge three working days before the project begins.
“Dig-ins are one of the most serious threats to public safety in our industry. Whether you are digging with a shovel or heavy machinery, a call to 811 can help keep you, your family and neighbors safe as well as help avoid costly repair that may result from striking an underground gas or electric line,” said PG&E Gas Operations Senior Vice President Jesus Soto.
Key Facts
811 is a designated toll-free number for homeowners and professional excavators and is serviced by regional offices. Operators answering calls and emails will dispatch all necessary utilities to properly mark underground utility lines with paint or flags. Underground Service Alert of Northern/Central California and Nevada (USA North), recently announced that it will now be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and will provide Spanish and other translation services.
“I commend USA North for demonstrating their commitment to safety by extending service hours. Construction work happens 24 hours a day and now crews in Northern California and Nevada will have the ability to file a ticket as soon as the need arises regardless of the time of day,” Soto added.
PG&E Safe Digging Tips:
Mark project area in white: Identify the digging location by drawing a box around the area using white paint, white stakes, white flags, white chalk or even white baking flour.
PG&E urges customers to call 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 if there’s a suspected gas leak. If an accidental dent, scrape or other damage is made to a gas pipeline, those nearby must leave immediately and alert others to avoid the area. Only when a safe distance away, should anything that might create a spark such as cell phones, matches, garage door openers, vehicles, or yard equipment be used.
