811

On Wednesday I visited a tent that had information
on 811. I found out that it is a number that anyone
must call before they want to dig anywhere. You must
call the number at least two business days, but no more
than 10 days, before you want to start work. You give
the Digger's Hotline your location and they will notify 
the affected utilities of your dig site. Those utilities 
will then let you know if its okay to dig where you
want to dig. It was a very informational booth. The
really great thing about this booth was that the man 
I talked to was really nice and informative, and he
gave me a post-it note holder that clips onto the visor
in my car.
