Dial 811 Before You Dig

Whether you are building an addition, laying a patio, planting a garden, or just digging a posthole for a mailbox; Or if you plan to excavate, trench, bore, blast, drill, grade, or just dig somewhere, South Carolina state law requires you to call the utilities in the area or the Palmetto Utility Protection Service at 1-800-922-0983, 72 hours prior to such excavation.

All expenses for the utility locating service are paid by the utilities in an effort to prevent damages to their system. PUPS will in turn notify us and other member utilities that may be in the area of your project. We will then locate our facilities and work with you to ensure the safety of your project and our gas lines.

If a gas main or service line is exposed during digging, call Chester County Natural Gas Authority. Proper attention to a pipe that has been exposed can prevent problems later.
