Call 811 Before You Dig! If you plan to dig, the Ohio Revised Code states that "at least 48 hours but not more than ten days before commencing excavation, the excavator shall notify the protection service of the location of the excavation site and the date on which the excavation is planned to commence." Call Ohio Utilities Protection Service (O.U.P.S.) at 1-800-362-2764 or 8-1-1. This applies to not only excavators but residents that plan to dig or demolish any structure including post hole digging, landscaping, sign installation, etc. For more information, visit the O.U.P.S. website at www.oups.org.
