What to Do Before You Dig in Washington or Montana

The reason for taking the time and effort to call before you dig is simple, it is required by Section 19.122 of the Revised Code of Washington and Montana Code 69-4-501. Keeping buried utilities safe from damage caused by digging is a responsibility shared among:

  • Designers of the Installation
  • Owner/Operators of the Buried Lines
  • Those That Locate and Mark Underground Utilities
  • Anyone Digging Near the Lines
  • One Call Center personnel
