Call SC811 before Digging

In the wake of Tropical Storm Michael, as South Carolina residents begin to clean up any damage caused by the storm’s high wind and rain, they are reminded to call South Carolina 811 (SC811) before they dig. After the storm you may need to clean up or make repairs, no matter the project, big or small, your first step is to give 811 a free call. Safe digging is everyone’s responsibility. It’s a free service to notify SC811 of your planned excavation to help prevent damages that may result in fines, utility service interruption, injury and even death. If you are planning to do any type of digging as your storm clean up, call 811 at least three full working days beforehand. That free call can help identify the approximate location of underground utility lines.
