April is National Safe Digging Month. With spring weather this time of year, people tend to do outdoor DIY projects, and that might mean you need to dig. Before that shovel hits the ground, however, you need to take a few steps. Summit Natural Gas of Missouri Senior Operations Manager Brett Mahan explains what National Safe Digging Month means.

If you are planning on digging, call 811 or visit Call811.com at least two business days before digging, confirm that all lines have been marked, and consider moving the location of your project if it is near utility line-markings.
