April Is Dig Safe Month In BC!
There is an underground network of gas lines, electricity, telephone, internet and TV cable wires, as well as water and sewer connections that could be damaged if you dig in the wrong spot.
When it comes to underground utilities, the smallest incident can cause serious damage. Disturbing the ground in your backyard can be just as serious as ground disturbance at a construction site. Whether you’re planning to build a retaining wall, plant a tree or put in fence posts, remember to PLAN AHEAD and click or call before you dig to protect yourself, your family, neighbours and property.
