Data tracked by the Common Ground Alliance\u2019s Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) found the cause of more than 1 in 5 damages to underground infrastructure is a lack of notification to 811 \u2013 the top cause of pipeline damages nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cCalling 811 is the first step in preventing damage to underground utility infrastructure, and preventing the emergencies that happen when pipelines are hit,\u201d said Essential Utilities CEO and Chairman Christopher Franklin. \u201cAs we make significant investments to upgrade infrastructure, improving safety and reliability, we encourage our customers and contractors to call ahead of every excavation project. Working together, we can keep our communities safe from the risks created by pipeline damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nCalling 811 before digging is free to homeowners and can prevent injuries, fines and outages in the community. The process is simple:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Call 811<\/b>, the national call-before-you-dig hotline, at least three business days before the planned start of excavation;\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wait <\/b>for the site<b \/>to be<b \/>marked by utility companies, such as Peoples and Aqua, with paint, flags or stakes;\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Dig with care. <\/b>Respect the markings and use appropriate tools while excavating. If a pipeline, line markers, locator wire or warning tape is damaged, leave the area immediately, then call 911 and notify the appropriate utility.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe 811 service is required for all excavation projects, ranging from planting a garden and installing a basketball hoop, up to building a deck or putting in a swimming pool.
