PENNSYLVANIA ONE CALL - Before Digging - It’s The Law
http://www.paonecall.org/

Planning on installing an addition to the existing structure, retaining wall, pool, landscaping or beginning any kind of construction that would require digging on your property? Pennsylvania law states that prior to digging, excavators MUST call to have underground utility lines marked at the site.

Digging without marked utility lines is dangerous. If a utility line is cut, it could cause a complete disruption in utility facilities such as cable, gas and telephone, until repairs can be made. Further, it jeopardizes the safety of those excavating.

Prior to any excavation, you are required by law to contact  PENNSYLVANIA ONE CALL 1-800-242-1776. The utility companies have three business days to contact the excavator with regards to their dig location.

One simple call can protect yourself and your property from unforeseen damage when digging. Let  PENNSYLVANIA ONE CALL help determine the location of PGW and other utility service lines before you dig by calling 1-800-242-1776 or visit their Web site http://www.paonecall.org/.
