'Life is precious': Call or click before you dig

The job was simple: Clear a handful of trees on a local landowner’s property to make way for a fence. But it didn’t take long for this simple project to become a matter of life, death—and luck.

Know what’s below: Call or click before you dig. Always call 811 at least two to three days before any digging project, big or small, to avoid hitting pipelines and other buried utilities. For safety's sake, call before you dig.
