What do I need to do if I'm planning to dig on or near my property?

If you are planning to dig on or near your property, it is crucial to prioritize safety and prevent potential damage to underground utilities. Before starting any excavation work, it is necessary to contact Arizona 811, the state's one-call utility locating service. You can reach them by dialing 8-1-1 or submitting an online request at least two working days before you plan to dig. They will gather information about your project and notify all utility companies, including Southwest Gas, who may have underground facilities in the area. Southwest Gas will then mark the location of their gas lines within two working days of receiving the notification. It is important to respect and avoid the marked areas during your digging project in order to protect yourself, your property, and the utility infrastructure.
