Call 811
Neglect one simple step and you could dig yourself into deep trouble. So “call 811 before you dig.” It’s the law.
That’s the message promoted by the Oregon Utility Notification Center (OUNC), a state agency that provides a one-call service to contractors, excavators and homeowners to let them know what they may encounter underground.
The center’s aim is to prevent damage, service disruptions and potential disaster from uncharted digging into buried service facilities.
