Customers Are Encouraged To Call Before Digging

CenterPoint Energy observes April as National Safe Digging Month and encourages customers to follow safe digging practices.

Anyone planning a project that requires digging should contact 8-1-1 at least two days before.

This includes building a fence, planting trees, installing a deck, placing a mailbox, or laying a patio.

Safe digging practices are required by state law and help prevent damaging underground natural gas, electric, communications, water, and sewer lines.
