A Message from Councilmember Malnar
August 9, 2019

Dear Sahuaro District Residents,

August 11th is National 811 Day -  the perfect day to remind you to always call before you dig !  
 
The different colored markings on roads or in yards are a sign that a contractor or homeowner has put safety first and had utility lines identified prior to excavation. Utility lines that serve the community with vital services such as natural gas, electricity, sewer and water can be buried anywhere.
 
Striking a utility line not only poses a safety risk, but can also cause an interruption of service to customers. This reminder was sent to us by Southwest Gas which encourages homeowners and contractors to use the free service by calling 811 or going online using E-Stake at   arizona811.com/e-stake/  to request locating a utility line at least two full working days prior to digging. There is also training available. See more information on the website.

Enjoy your weekend!
