We Support April as National Safe Digging Month

April is National Safe Digging Month. April marks the start of the spring planting season and we want to share with you how to protect you, your property and those around you. When you start your projects around the house, remember to add 811 to the top of your list to locate buried utility lines such as gas, cable, etc . Citizens should call Public Works at (409) 938-9280 to request someone to come out and locate the city side water and sewer lines only. No matter how small your next home digging project is, remember to keep yourself and your community safe by contacting 811 to have the approximate location of buried utilities marked with paint or flags before breaking ground.
