Call Utilities Before You Dig
PORTLAND, Ore. - Did you know
that state law requires homeowners to call
for locates when planting shrubs and
trees? Contractors are aware of these laws,
but many homeowners are not.
By Oregon law, everyone planning
any type of excavation project must call
the Oregon Utility Notification Center’s
(OUNC) 24-hour toll-free number at
1-800-332-2344. This is a free service
provided by utility companies statewide.
Homeowners and contractors using
power equipment subject themselves to
particularly high liability and risk if they
fail to make the call and follow the rules.
Accidental contact with underground fa
cilities might cause hundreds or thousands
of residents to be cut off from electricity,
gas, telephones, 911 calls, water, and
other vital services. Even worse, contact
with these lines can cause serious injury.
When you make the call, the One-
Call Center notifies affected facility op
erators who then mark the locations of
lines with color-coded paint. With the
ground marked in your work area, you
have taken the first step to avoid damage
or personal injury.
Whether you are planting roses, put
ting in a sprinkler system, or building a
fence, you should always follow these
four important steps to dig safely:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Call the Oregon One-Call Center at
least two business days before you be
gin your digging project. The One-
Call center will notify the facility op
erators, who will then take care of
marking the property for under
ground utilities.
Wait for the lines to be marked with
color-coded paint.
Be careful to respect the marks.
Dig with care.
For more information, call the
Oregon Utility Notification Center at
503-232-1987 or visit its Web site at
