Just a reminder, always call before you dig. These days more and more power lines are located underground, and the truth is, you don’t know where they are, but we do. So before you pick up a shovel, pick up a phone and call 811 48 hours before you dig. Whether you’re planting a tree, digging holes for fence posts or installing underground sprinklers, knowing where the power lines are buried could be a matter of life © 2010 Rocky Mountain Power
