Are you installing a fence, landscaping or digging a garden? Renovating or building an addition to your home? Excavating for a new porch or swimming pool?
Digging in the wrong spot during renovations could damage the underground network of natural gas pipes, telephone, hydro and cable TV wires, as well as water and sewer connections. This could cut off service not just to your home, but to the entire neighbourhood and could cause a safety risk to yourself and others.
Homeowners and contractors are required by law to obtain the location of buried natural gas pipes before breaking ground.
