Before you or a contractor begin digging on your property, call 811 or visit MISS DIG 811 to know what lies below ground. Michigan law requires anyone planning to do any type of digging to have the utility lines at the site marked before beginning a job.
Hitting a buried utility line may cause property damage, injury or death. Sometimes these lines are buried at a shallow depth. Follow the digging checklist below and learn about the utility flag color code that applies to all properties across Michigan.
