What is Dial Before You Dig?

Dial Before You Dig is a nationwide call-before-you-dig program that aims to prevent damage to underground utility lines during excavation activities.

It encourages anyone planning to dig, such as homeowners, contractors, and utility companies, to contact their local utility notification centre at least two business days before digging.

This allows utility companies to mark the location of their buried lines, ensuring that excavation work proceeds safely and without damaging essential services like electricity, gas, water, and telecommunications.
