Dispatching Emergency
Call 811 before you dig
Spring is a time when many folks dig in their yard, plant trees or take on construction projects around their property.
There is no way for most people to know exactly where electric lines, cables, gas lines, or other dangers lie below the ground’s surface. Digging without consideration can be
dangerous – and it’s against the law in both Texas and Oklahoma. In both states a call to 811 at least two working days before the dig will provide an opportunity for someone to come to the site and mark any underground lines. The agency in Oklahoma that handles marking requests is OKIE811 (or “Call Okie”). In Texas, Texas811 is the agency. Both agencies can be accessed by dial-
ing 811 or through online requests at their websites.
Always... Call before you dig! It’s the law, and it could be the difference between a safe operation and disaster.
Think before planting
If you plan to plant trees on your property this spring, keep them at a distance from overhead power lines. It’s important to remember that the seedling or small sapling that you plant today could be a huge tree within a few years. Trees that grow into power lines can cause
present a safety hazard. Location tips for planting trees are provided at
SWRE’s website (
www.swre.com) under “News and Events”.
