Diggers Hotline hopes that the 8/11 date on the calendar serves as an easy reminder for Wisconsin residents to call 811 before any digging project.
Dialing 811 on your phone is one way to get connected to Diggers Hotline, a free service that helps protect Wisconsin residents from injury and repair costs that may occur when striking a buried utility line.
Anyone in Wisconsin digging with a shovel, posthole digger, or anything else that disturbs the soil is required to contact Diggers Hotline, either by phone or at www.DiggersHotline.com.
Diggers Hotline takes information from Wisconsin excavators and passes that information on to Wisconsin utilities, who mark the location of their buried lines.
