<p><strong><span style="color:#0089c4;">Call 811 before you dig</span></strong>. Whether you're planting a garden, building a fence or remodeling your home, <strong>no project is too small to call <span style="color:#0089c4;">811</span></strong>. Damage from digging is a common cause of pipeline accidents. One easy, free call to <strong><span style="color:#0089c4;">811</span></strong> Underground Service Alert (USA) at least two working days before you dig gets your utility lines marked so you can dig safely. This free service will notify underground utility operators in the area of your planned work. PG&E will then locate and mark our underground gas and electric facilities.<br>
<br>
<strong>Safe digging tips:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Use hand digging tools when digging within 24 inches of the outside edge of any underground lines.</li>
<li>Utilities will use colored utility flags, stakes or paint marks to mark underground lines. Leave these in place until you have finished digging.</li>
<li>If you or your contractor accidently digs into a gas pipeline, do not attempt to stop the flowing gas or extinguish any fire. Immediately notify PG&E if you dent, scrape or hit our pipeline while digging so that we can inspect and repair the line to prevent future damage.</li>
<li>Once you are done with your project, you can carefully backfill and compact the soil. </li>
</ul>

<p>We operate, monitor and maintain natural gas distribution and transmission pipelines across California. Our larger transmission pipelines carry gas from one part of the state to another and connect to our smaller distribution lines that deliver natural gas to your homes and businesses. We maintain a comprehensive safety and monitoring program to ensure the safety and reliability of our natural gas system. We monitor our gas pipeline operations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we conduct regular inspections and surveys on pipelines.

<p>You can find PG&E's larger transmission pipelines near you by locating pipeline markers. Markers include an emergency number and indicate the need for extra care. These markers specify the approximate location, but not all pipelines follow a straight path between markers.</p>
<p>Use our <a href="http://kc.pge.com/46079089.9871.0.4364" style="color:#0089c4;">interactive online map</a> to learn more about the transmission pipelines in your neighborhood. You can view any location in our service area—your home, place of work or any other areas of interest—to see if transmission pipelines run nearby. </p>
<p>The <a href="http://kc.pge.com/46079089.9871.0.4365" style="color:#0089c4;">National Pipeline Mapping System</a> also shows the location of all transmission pipelines in the United States, viewable by county, zip code or street address.</p></td>
