April Designated Safe Digging Month
We appreciate Governor Jeff Landry supporting our endeavor to keep Louisiana a safe place to live and work.
One may ask, why is April designated as Safe Digging Month? Shouldn’t every month be a safe digging month? The best answer I can provide is the fact that homeowners are typically very busy planting trees, shrubbery and creating gardens this time of year...especially in April. And what better time to remind folks to do the right thing by contacting 8-1-1 prior to digging to have those underground utilities marked. It’s free, easy and it’s the law.
