There is a law in the USA requiring
that you call for underground utility locations
before you do any excavation.

The pictures below are a result of a farmer using
a post hole digger without calling for “locates”
and he hit an underground, high-pressure cross
country gas pipe.

Had to be one of those gas powered augers, either free-standing or on a tractor.

They never did find the guy…

It took out 2 homes…


Be sure to call 1-800-DIG-RIGHT before you dig!!!!
