Do You Know How to Dig Safely? Call VA811!

Sponsored by: VA 811

Patricia and Ashley welcome Brian from VA 811 to the show to test their digging safety knowledge with a fun game. Who will win? Watch and see.

Games are a whole lot of fun, but digging into a power line is definitely NOT! So, it is important to know what is underground before you dig -whether you are installing a pool, or planting a lovely flower garden.

A few minutes online to create a ticket is all it takes. After about 3 working days, a technician will come out and identify any utility lines, and save you from any unexpected digging mishaps!

If you are hiring a contractor to do the digging for you, they will typically handle this, but it is always good to ask them to be sure.

The facilities are color coded in the following manner:

When you begin digging, make sure to allow a reasonable distance from either side of the markings.

Don’t let your backyard turn into a backyard disaster! Be sure to give Virginia 811 a call before you dig!
