A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging Month.
Sponsored By: Senator Young, Todd [R-IN]
Passed Senate
Summary
Promotes safer digging by urging people to contact 811 before digging to locate underground utilities. The resolution encourages homeowners and excavators to call or use 811 online and asks damage‑prevention stakeholders to educate the public about marking buried lines with paint or flags. It notes U.S. underground infrastructure includes pipelines, electric, gas, telecommunications, fiber, water, sewer, and cable. A Common Ground Alliance report found failure to notify 811 contributed to 26 percent of damage incidents and April is National Safe Digging Month.
