Officials are reminding residents that those who are planning on beginning a digging project need to call 8-1-1.
Today marks National 8-1-1 Day (8/11), and the PA Public Utility Commission is using this day to tell everyone planning on construction or excavation projects must call 811 between 3 and 10 days prior to digging.
Residents can also visit the pa1call.org website. Center employees then take the project information and notify any utilities with underground lines in that area who will mark the specific location at the site.
More information on digging policies can be found online on the website of the PUC.
