A Reminder to Call Before You Dig

The Engineering Department would like to advise the public that if you are doing spring projects that require digging into the ground, remember to request utility mark outs. Please call 811, NJ Damage Prevention, also known as “Call Before You Dig.” Once 811 is called, utility companies will have three business days to mark-out the locations of their lines, such as gas, electric, cable, sewer, water, etc. Typically you will know the mark-outs are completed by the spray-painted symbols on the ground or little flags marking the underground locations. Homeowners are responsible by law to make sure that they (or their contractors) call 811. This fast and free phone call can prevent costly and dangerous damage to the utility lines and interruption of service. More information is available on the Engineering Department website.
