The Arkansas Public Service Commission (APSC) announces that April has been designated as “National Safe Digging Month.” Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a proclamation on April 1, recognizing April as National Safe Digging Month in Arkansas. This designation acknowledges the significance of calling 811 before you dig. Along with the Governor, the APSC’s Pipeline Safety Office, the Arkansas Attorney General, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, Arkansas 811 and the Common Ground Alliance encourage excavators and homeowners to always call 811 before digging to prevent unintended consequences such as service interruption, environmental damage, personal injury and even death. In addition to dialing 811, customers can also contact Arkansas One Call at 800-482-8998 or https://arkansas811.com/.
