Avoid Causing Your Own Outage

We think of storms, trees, and the occa­sion­al squir­rel as the caus­es of pow­er out­ages, but some­times human behav­ior is to blame. That’s why it’s impor­tant to Call SC811 Before You Dig. With more util­i­ty com­pa­nies deliv­er­ing ser­vices under­ground, land­scap­ing and exca­vat­ing in your own yard can quick­ly turn into a dan­ger­ous, cost­ly sit­u­a­tion. Pro­tect your­self and oth­ers with a call or click to 811. It’s fast, free, and it’s the law!
