Whether you’re adding trees and shrubs, installing a deck, or putting up a new fence, Wheat State Technologies reminds you to pick up your phone before you pick up your shovel. Dialing before you dig isn’t just a recom- mendation—it’s the law. By digging with- out knowing where electrical, gas, cable TV and other service lines are, you could harm yourself or others, or interrupt services to your entire neighborhood. You may even incur fines and repair costs. To make it easier, a national hotline now exists. Just dial 811, and representatives will route your request to local utility companies, who will have professionals mark your lines. Call just a few days prior to doing any work, to allow time for them to mark your property. Then you can take on any project without compromising safety. As one of your local service providers, we thank you in advance for your cooperation. Cornerstone Group © 2019 Starting Outdoor Projects? Dial 811 First! Kansas Lifeline…You May Be Eligible!
