Dig Safely: Call MISS UTILITY at 1-800-257-7777 or visit MISSUTILITY.NET

Maryland law requires that anyone planning to dig must notify MISS UTILITY at least 48 hours prior to digging (excluding weekends and holidays). A representative will mark underground facilities to protect you against the danger of accidental contact with our wires, gas or electrical equipment.

Call toll free at 1-800-257-7777. Anyone who fails to comply with MISS UTILITY laws is subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000 or ten times the cost of repairs.

After MISS UTILITY marks the area, the following colors identify the utility:

Red Electric
Yellow Gas, Oil, or Steam
Orange Communications (Telephone or CATV)
Blue Water
Green Sewer
White Proposed Excavation
