Energy Companies Hope 8/11 Reminds You Of 811

Saturday, August 10th, 2013 -- 8:59 AM

With August 11 almost here, Alliant Energy hopes this date on the calendar, 8/11, will serve as a natural reminder for everyone to call 811 before they dig.

Calling 811 helps prevent potentially dangerous accidents involving buried utility lines like natural gas, electric, and internet. Every year across the country, thousands of people dig into a buried natural gas line or other underground lines.

Striking a line can result in injury, repair costs, fines and inconvenient outages to the person digging, and their neighbors. Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to 811.

When a customer calls 811, area utilities are notified. They will send professional locators to the digging site. Once on scene, locators mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags and or paint.

Call at least 72 hours before starting a digging project.
