By law, everyone —including homeowners—must contact the Ohio811, at least 48 hours but no more than 10 working days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) before beginning any digging on their property. The depth of utility lines varies and there may be multiple utility lines in a common area, so it’s always smart to have them marked. Visit the Ohio811 website at https://oups.org/ or or call 8-1-1 or 1-800-362-2764.

Description
Planning on doing any home outdoor improvement projects or yard work If your plans involve any sort of digging or excavating, be sure to call 8-1-1 ahead of your scheduled start. By simply calling 8-1-1, you can notify Ohio’s one-call notification systems. The Ohio Utilities Protection Service coordinates with local utilities and the Oil and Gas Producers Underground Protection Service coordinates with oil and gas production facilities to have underground lines marked, so you know ahead of time where it is safe to dig. Not only will doing so avoid headaches and make your job easier, but you avoid potential utility outages, repair costs and serious or even fatal injuries.
