Call 811 Before You Dig | Oklahoma City News

Digging in Oklahoma? Think twice before you break ground. Over 25% of pipeline incidents in the metro area stem from folks skipping the free, legal step: calling 811. Those yellow flags? They’re there because someone called ahead—and it saved the day. Don’t assume your backyard is safe—lines for gas, cable, power, and more run under sidewalks and everywhere. Give yourself 48 hours (not counting weekends) to get marked. If you hit a line? Get to safety, call 911, and alert the gas company. Most leaks? Caused by accidental digging. Oklahoma Natural Gas says their system is 99.9% reliable—but that’s only if you play it safe. Be a Dig Hero. Call 811. More info at BeADigHeroOklahoma.com.
