Underground electric, gas, communications and water lines are everywhere, even on private property. NJ state law requires that anyone digging must call 1-800-272-1000 or 811, so that operators can markout underground utilities. You must call at least 3 days before any digging project, such as installing, removing or replacing:
- trees and tree stumps
- curbs
- street and signposts
- mailbox posts
- fences
- decks
- additions
- new gardens
