CenterPoint encourages digging safety
Submitted article
As part of its ongoing safety awareness practices for safe digging, CenterPoint Energy is partnering with the Common Ground Alliance to commemorate April as National Safe Digging Month and encourage customers to follow safe digging practices.
Safe digging practices are required by state laws and helps prevent damage to underground utilities like natural gas, electric and water. Striking a single line can result in injury, repair costs, fines and service interruptions. Anyone planning a project that requires digging, such as installing a mailbox, building a deck, planting a tree and laying a patio, should contact 811.
