It’s The Law
With warm weather just around the
comer, many gardening, remodelingand
building projects will soon be underway.
NW Natural urges people to “Call Be­
fore You Dig” to prevent damage and
service interruptions that can be caused
by diggingintounderground utility lines.
Notifying utilities before skirting any
work that requires digging is necessary
for safety and required by law.
The “Call Before You Dig” safety
warning applies to anyone who may be
digging-contractors, excavators or
homeowners. Notification is easy and
free of charge; all it takes is one call to a
notification center at least two full work­
ing days before excavation is to begin.
A tter the center receives a cal 1, it wi 11 alert
participating utilities, which will locate
and mark their lines with color-coded
paint.
If a person fails to call and subse­
quently damages underground services,
he can be held liable for all repair costs.
More importantly, damage to a gas pipe
or an electric cable poses a significant
safety hazard.
Upon notification of proposed exca­
vation from the notification center, NW
Natural will identify the location of the
natural gas pipe with yellow paint.
The Oregon Uti lity Noti fication Cen­
ter can be reached at 246-6699 in the
Portland metro area, 696-4848 in Clark
County, Wash, and 1 -800-332-2344 in
all other areas o f Oregon.
Remember, don’t risk digging into
buried natural gas, water, sewer, tele­
phone, fiber optic, cable television or
electric lines. Call before you dig. It’s
free and it’s the law.
