The resolution designates April 2026 as "Pennsylvania 8-1-1 Safe Digging Month" to highlight the importance of calling 8-1-1 before digging. This call notifies about underground utility lines, aiming to prevent injuries, utility damage, and environmental harm. The Pennsylvania One Call System, celebrating over 50 years of service, plays a crucial role in this effort. The resolution encourages excavators and homeowners to use this service, emphasizing the legal requirement of three business days' notice before digging.
