Call before you dig

Whether you're landscaping, planting trees, installing fences, building a deck or starting an excavation project, you must have utility information on-site before you dig. It's important to know what lies underground before digging or using boring equipment.

For your safety and the safety of others request gas line information from

BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886 (cellular *6886)

Or complete this form and fax your request to (604) 451-0344

Please call a minimum of three business days before you start your project. When contacted, BC One Call will notify all member companies that have buried facilities in the dig area.

FortisBC will provide you with information that will enable you to safely determine the location of underground utilities within your identified work area.

Don't take a chance! Always call before you dig to avoid the dangers and expense of hitting an underground utility line.
