Pipeline Safety - Call before you dig

On Friday, November 20, from 2 pm to 4 pm, NC811 will lead a workshop on pipeline safety in the auditorium at our Forsyth County Extension Office (7232 Forsyth Center Dr, Tobaccoville, NC, 27050). This course applies to anyone doing any kind of digging, including homeowners, businesses, and contractors, and will cover how to mitigate any risk while excavating. 811 is a public safety service that helps prevent damage to underground infrastructure and keep people safe while they dig in their yards, gardens, and farms.
