April 2019 is Safe Digging Month! As issued via proclamation on March 12, 2019, by
Governor Jay Inslee, please adhere to Washington's Dig Law by calling 8-1-1 for
utility locates before you dig. The call is free and notifies utility companies of an
intent to dig. The one -call center dispatches professional locators to the requested
digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines, safely alerting
the dig crew of the danger below. All residents and professional excavators are
required by law to call 8-1-1 at least two business days before they dig.
