Are you planting a tree? Installing a mailbox? Building a fence or deck? Or are you finally starting that garden that you’ve been dreaming of? Remember to contact Missouri 811!

For digging projects big or small, you need to contact Missouri 811 at least 3 working days before you start digging to avoid hitting an underground utility line. It’s free, it’s simple and it’s the law. Missouri 811 notifies its member utility companies to mark their underground facilities where you plan to dig. Missouri 811 does not locate or mark underground facilities. This is done by the member utility companies or their locators.

Safe digging is everyone’s responsibility. Failure to dig safely can result in costly damages and repairs, loss of essential utility services, and even serious injuries to you or your neighbors. Start by clicking HERE
