Homeowners - Planning a Do-it-Yourself Project?
Planting a tree? Digging a hole for a mailbox? Installing a fence? Remember to contact North Dakota One-Call! There are a number of utility lines buried on your property – electric, telephone, gas or propane, water, sewer, cable TV… The first step to any project is safety! Damaging an underground facility can cause injury or even death. Contact North Dakota One-Call and we will contact the utility line owners to locate their lines. These locates do not include any lines you may have installed to your private facilities (i.e. gas grills, detached garages, wells, yard lights, etc.) It’s free, it’s simple, and it’s the law.
