Sunshine 811

If you dig for a living, this message is for you. ⚠️

Every 15 minutes, someone in Florida strikes a utility line. That’s about 100 times a day, putting you and your crew at risk of serious injury or worse.

Before you dig, contact Sunshine 811. Know what’s below. Protect your crew. Go home safe.

Watch the video and share this important reminder.
