Call Before You Dig

💧A crew in Hartford punctured a massive water main. Their CBYD ticket had expired, and the marks had faded. Thousands of homes could have lost water.
The lesson?
▶️ Tickets expire after 30 days
▶️ Refresh markings if they're unclear
▶️ Walk the site before you dig
Calling 811 isn't one-and-done. Safety is ongoing.

💻 Fiber = fragile lifelines.
A single shovel strike could knock out internet for an entire block, school, or business. With millions of miles of fiber buried across the U.S., these lines are more common than you think.
👉 Tip: Even if you’ve dug there before, lines may have been added since your last dig. Always call 811 before starting.
