Caution: You May Hit an Electrical Line!!!

Don't Cause a Catastrophe -- Before You Dig, Contact https://www.digalert.org

This is a message from the Rancho Bernardo Community Council

Over 200 emergency gas and electrical line incidents have transpired this year due to home construction where people did not contact dig alert. Before doing any sort of digging on your property, be it planting a
tree, adding/fixing fencing, digging up or adding new sprinkler system, outdoor construction, etc, the City advises you to contact Dig Alert.

Make sure any contractor you hire does the same. Much of our gas, electric, cable, etc., can be just inches below ground. Many of the lines run in areas most are unaware of. Dig alert will come out within 48 hours and mark off all your utility lines for free.
