Today is 811 Day, and CenterPoint Energy wants to remind you to call that free number before digging.
An underground utility line is damaged every few minutes because someone began digging without first contacting 811.
Striking a single line causes repair costs, inconvenient service outages, fines, severe injuries, and death.
Customers should contact 811 to request that local utility companies mark the approximate location of buried electric, natural gas, water, telecommunications, and cable lines.
