On Aug. 11 (8-11), Consumers Energy Reminds Homeowners to Call MISS DIG in Advance of Digging Projects
Homeowner Damages Up Nearly 20 % — 69 %
Because of No Call to 8-1-1
JACKSON, MI, August 11, 2015:With damages up nearly 20 percent in 2015, Consumers Energy reminds do-it-yourself homeowners that August 11 (8-11) should provide an important reminder to call MISS DIG at 8-1-1 to have underground utilities marked at no cost before digging.
“It’s important to share this critical safety message because we know when homeowners and contractors contact MISS DIG before digging and wait three business days for utilities to be located, there is less than a 1 percent chance of hitting one of those buried lines,” said Mary Palkovich, vice president of energy delivery for Consumers Energy.
