Hitting underground utilities while digging can be a mistake with deadly consequences! Here are some tips to make sure you keep yourself and your loved ones safe:
• Before doing any digging in your yard, have your utilities located. It's easy to schedule by calling 811 or by visiting the designated Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) webpage.
• If you see a tree leaning towards a power line or a branch on a power line, call ERMU at 763.441.2020. DO NOT try to prune the tree yourself.
Spring landscaping is a fun time to give your space a makeover - do it safely!
