PG&E Reminds Customers to Always Call 811 before Digging
 During National Safe Digging Month, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) reminds local businesses to always call 811 before any construction or excavation project, big or small. Whether it's planting a tree, installing a sprinkler system or building a fence, business owners and professional excavators need to know where gas and electric lines lie underground.
The 811 hotline is a free service that provides important information on where utilities exist beneath excavation areas. Natural gas pipelines, electric power lines and other utilities buried underground can lie within just a few feet of the surface. Read More>>
