Always call Dig Safely New York at least 2 full working days before you dig at 1-800-962-7962. 

Wait the Required Time--Do not dig before your selected starting date.

Confirm Utility Response--Be sure all utilities in the area have marked their facilities or given you notification that their facilities do not exist in the area.

Respect the Marks--Be sure the stakes, flags or paint for your particular location have not been altered.

Dig with Care -- Be especially careful when digging within 2 feet of the paint, stakes or flags. Within this area all digging should be done with hand tools.

CAUTION:
Be aware that in many cases the utilities mark their lines, but that you may have lines that are associated with your house that are not part of their network.  They may be part of your property--example: underground line from house to garage or pool. Carefully check your property for signs of these hidden lines.  It is not the Utility companies responsibility to mark those items that they do not own.
