Call before you dig this spring

QUINCY, IL (WGEM) With warmer weather here, you will probably be working in your yard.
If your work includes any digging, it is required by law in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa to call 811 before you do.
811 is the phone number you call before digging to protect yourself and others from hitting underground utility lines, including electricity and natural gas.
You should call the free number a few days before you dig and someone will come to your home and mark the ground with flags or paint, to designate where the lines are.
