Call Before You Dig
Anyone planning to dig in Ohio must call 811 or 800-362-2764 at least 48 hours before the commencement of digging. The Ohio Utilities Protection Service will notify utility companies and member companies will mark their lines. Calling before you dig is important not only for safety reasons, but it is also the law.
