homeowners are using their extra time at home to complete projects that require digging, according to a recent national survey conducted by the Common Ground Alliance (CGA).

In fact, the survey shows that one in five homeowners (20%) have been more likely to do a home improvement involving digging since the pandemic began – particularly gardening projects, and 56% of homeowners who are planning to plant a tree or shrub this year said they were more likely to dig

before starting a digging project, no matter how large or small, to have the location of underground utility lines marked. 811 is a free service, and their families and neighbors safe and connected to essential utility services, and avoid potentially costly repairs.

As part of National Safe Digging Month, PG&E will host free 811 safe digging webinars for homeowners and contractors.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions of PG&E
