A safety message reminder to Customers:
In observance of National Safe Digging Month in April, SEMCO ENERGY Gas Company reminds customers to call MISS DIG (811) at least 3 days prior to doing any digging or excavation.
811 is the national call-before-you-dig phone number. It’s a free, easy and anonymous service to have the approximate location of underground lines marked with flags and/or paint.
According to a recent national survey by the Common Ground Alliance (CGA), 27.2 million Americans planning digging projects in the next year will not contact 811,
putting themselves and their communities at risk of utility service disruptions, costly fines and repairs, and even serious injury or death.
Even common do-it-yourself projects—such as planting a garden, installing a mailbox or setting up a fence—can pose risks, as the depth of buried utilities can vary.
This month and all year long, contact MISSDIG 811 a few days before breaking ground.
