Spring Projects Start with One Smart Call - Call 811 to Mark Utilities On Your Property

Spring is almost here, and across North Dakota, that means it’s time to get back outside. From fixing fences and planting trees to installing sprinkler systems, many projects start with digging. Before you break ground, remember one simple step: call 811.

There are more underground lines on your property than you might realize, including BEK Fiber and other utility lines. A quick call to 811 brings professionals out to mark those lines with paint or flags, so you know where it’s safe to dig.

Striking a buried line isn’t just a hassle, it can be dangerous. It can cause serious injury, knock out important services, and lead to expensive repairs. The good news? It’s easy to avoid.

As you plan your spring projects, make 811 your first call. You can dial 8-1-1 or visit 811beforeyoudig.com. It’s free, fast, and it helps keep your project and your community safe.
