Why Call Before You Dig?

Underground utility lines carry essential services like electricity, gas, water, and fiber-optic internet. Accidentally hitting these lines can lead to:

By contacting Diggers Hotline, you’ll avoid these risks and help keep your community safe.

How Does It Work?

NOTIFY: At least 3 full business days before you dig, contact Diggers Hotline by dialing 811 from any phone in Wisconsin or by visiting diggershotline.com.
WAIT: Wait 3 business days for affected utility operators to respond. On average, 7-8 utility operators are notified for each request. 24-7 & West Wisconsin Telcom will be notified to mark fiber lines.
CONFIRM: Ensure all affected utility operators have responded by comparing the marks to the list of notified utilities.
RESPECT: Respect the marks. They serve as a guide throughout your project. If the marks fade, contact Diggers Hotline for a re-mark.
DIG CAREFULLY: If you must dig within 18 inches of the marks, only hand digging is allowed—no mechanized equipment.
