APRIL IS SAFE DIGGING MONTH IN MICHIGAN:
Do it yourselfers and commercial contractors are being encouraged to get utility lines staked before starting outdoor projects.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer has declared April to be Safe Digging Month. As the weather gets warmer, the Township is reminding anyone who has a digging project scheduled to call MISS DIG at 8-1-1 before putting tools in the ground. If you are using power tools to do so, it’s more than just a suggestion, it’s the law. The Township’s Department of Public Works (DPW) highly recommends anyone digging with hand tools like shovels or even garden spades err on the side of safety and call. The biggest increase in residential damages last year came from fencing installation, with landscaping projects also being high on the list.
After calling MISS DIG, a representative will be out within 3 working days to mark all lines, and if the homeowner is home at the time, will be able to answer any questions they may have. If a project is scheduled to come within 4 feet of a line, the Township recommends digging carefully with hand tools or moving the project further away. The service is free, and can be scheduled by calling 8-1-1, or visiting the link below.
