Please call at least 48 hours prior to digging or doing excavation work on your property:

If you or your company does excavation work or if you are a homeowner or farmer who occasionally digs on your property, we need your help in preventing pipeline emergencies. Records show that damage from excavation-related activities, par­ticularly from equipment digging into pipelines, is the number one cause of pipeline accidents. Without proper coor­dination, excavation activities in the vicinity of underground- pipelines can result in very dangerous situations.

Look for pipeline markers.

To determine if there are pipelines in the area where excavation is planned, look for pipeline markers at nearby roads, railroads and fences. Don't try to guess the route or location of the pipeline from where the markers are placed. Call us using the toll-free tele­phone number shown on the marker at least 48 hours before you dig. We will send a representative to mark the exact location, route and depth of the pipeline at no charge.

What to do if you are digging and disturb a pipeline.

Even if you cause what seems to be only minor damage to the pipeline, notify us immediately. A gouge, scrape, dent or crease to the pipe or coat­ing may cause a future break or leak. It is imperative that we inspect and repair any damage to the line.
