April is National Safe Digging Month, and EEI and our member companies remind customers to always call 8-1-1 at least three days before you dig, even for small projects such as installing a mailbox, fence, or deck posts. Other projects that could affect utility lines and require calling 8-1-1 first include planting trees and shrubs or installing a septic tank, swimming pool, or sprinkler system.
