When you are getting ready to plant a tree or put in a pool, it is now a state law that you call the Indiana Underground Plant Protection Service, Inc. or “Holey Moley” at 811 or (800) 382-5544. Call this number at least two working days before you begin to dig, and they will notify the utilities that subscribe to their service. Then, each of these utilities will mark their own service lines, and you will be ready to plant that tree with no danger to yourself.
Striking an underground utility line while digging can cause harm to you or those around you, disrupt service to entire neighborhoods, and likely result in the member being billed for repairs.
