Question of The Week 12/09/2017

Question of the week!

Q: You mentioned in your December newsletter that if I want to re-plant my live tree outside after Christmas, I need to dig. What do I do if I don't know where my utility lines are or I want to plant it so I can hide my utility boxes?

A: Excellent question! Before you dig, you MUST call New Mexico 811 to have your utilities marked.

Call 811 at least 2 working days before you dig. Mark the area you where you want the lines located with white flags. They will ask you a few simple questions and notify the appropriate utility companies for you.

It is a free service. If you don't call and hit a line, you could be subject to a fine. Don't forget to call, or have us plant it and we will take care of the line locate for you.
