When underground infrastructure is damaged, the impact can extend far beyond the job site. A single utility strike can interrupt internet service, knock out power, disrupt water service, or create dangerous situations that require emergency response. That's why safe digging is about more than protecting your project. It's about protecting neighbours, businesses, and the essential services communities rely on every day. Every safe excavation helps keep Ontario connected. Submit a free locate request at OntarioOneCall.ca.
