MAINE LAW REQUIRES ANYONE USING POWER TOOLS TO PENETRATE THE GROUND (INCLUDING HOMEOWNERS) TO FIRST:

1. Pre-mark the boundaries of the proposed area of excavation with white markings.

2. Call 1-888-DIGSAFE (1-888-344-7233) 3 business days prior to digging.  Dig Safe will then automatically notify all of its member utilities that own underground facilities in the area of the excavation so that they can mark their facilities.

3. Notify all non-member owners of underground facilities in the area of the excavation 3 business days prior to digging.

The Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) is vigorously enforcing these rules and may fine you up to $5,000 per violation if you do not comply.  Therefore, please take time to review and understand the rules and Informational Material.

If you have any questions, please call the MPUC at (207) 287-3831
or toll free at (800) 452-4699.
