Through a proclamation from Governor Mike DeWine, April is designated as Safe Digging Month in Ohio. This initiative highlights the legal requirement to contact OHIO811 before digging, which helps to protect our communities, the environment, and the thousands of miles of buried pipelines, wires, and cables statewide. OHIO811 leads a year-round public safety and education campaign to reinforce this message, with heightened efforts in April as spring projects begin.
