After receiving your building permit, please call Dig Safe before doing ANY digging. If you have done any sort of digging on your property and a utility line is damaged, and Dig Safe was not called to mark the lines, the expense is at the cost of the homeowner. Dig Safe is free and it usually takes 2-3 working days for all of the utilities to be marked.
