Connecticut Enforces 'Call Before You Dig' Law to Prevent Utility Strikes
Connecticut has reinforced its 'Call Before You Dig' law, requiring residents and businesses to notify the service two days before any excavation project begins. The initiative, part of National Safe Digging Month, aims to prevent utility strikes that can result in damage, injury, or death. The nonprofit corporation CBYD operates the state's excavation-notification call center, coordinating with public utilities to ensure safety and prevent service disruptions. The law applies to projects involving decks, pools, landscaping, and tree planting, emphasizing the importance of compliance for public safety.
