That's not a wrong number — that's your reminder.
Aug. 11 (8-1-1, get it?) is 811 Day, and it's the perfect nudge to remember: Any digging project, even a small one like planting flowers or setting a fence post, starts with contacting 811. It's free, it's fast and it's the only way to know what's buried beneath your yard before you break ground.
Skipping it isn't a shortcut — it's a gamble with gas lines, water mains and more. Contact 811 first, dig second.
