Call Before You Dig

Spectra Energy working to ensure pipelines meet or exceed regulatory requirements for safety.

One of the most potentially hazardous situations in residential areas, industrial plants and construction sites is accidental contact with underground electric power lines, natural gas lines, communication lines, and other utility services.

Spectra Energy suggests avoiding this problem by calling the local one call center. Local one call centers record the location of your dig and then notify the affected utility companies of your plans. There’s no charge for the service, and the call is toll-free. Calling before you dig can not only save you money from a damage claim, it can also save your life.

Most one call centers require a 48- to 72-hour notice. Call the numbers or visit these Web sites for more information.
