Today, (8/11) is National 811 Day, a nationwide reminder that every digging project, large or small, should begin with a free call to 811. In cities and in unincorporated areas of Oklahoma, know what is below.
Late summer is one of the busiest seasons for outdoor projects across Oklahoma. Whether installing a fence or mailbox, planting trees and shrubs, preparing a fall garden, or tackling landscaping improvements, any project that disturbs the ground has the potential to strike an underground utility line or pipeline. Digging without first contacting 811 can result in serious injuries, utility service interruptions, environmental damage, and costly repairs.
