Dial before you dig
Before you begin excavating, you must investigate if underground services are in the area. Underground services may include gas, water, phone and electricity.
Dial Before You Dig is a free referral for information on the locations of underground pipes and cable. Using DBYD can prevent damage, disruption, injury or even death.
So before you begin your excavations, call 1100 or visit the Dial Before You Dig website (external link).
