Call Before you Dig – Ontario One Call

If you are planning to dig, build or excavate on your property, you must locate your utility lines first. Call before you dig - and help keep your property, your family and your community safe.

What is the Risk? Damaging underground services can have serious consequences:

• Personal injury
• Loss of essential services, creating a safety risk for others
• Expensive restoration costs and potential legal actions

To be sure you get the locate information by the time you need it, call at least 2 weeks before you plan to dig. Lead time for locating is usually 5 business days and the locates are valid for 30 days. Spring and summer are the busier seasons so make sure to plan accordingly.
