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!
