C M Y K A SUPPLEMENT TO THE WINNIPEG FREE PRESS SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 2021 13 Before you start landscaping or that reno By Jackie Jones T he warm weather we have been hav- ing is a sure sign of spring. This is the time that Manitoba residents are busy planning landscaping and renovation projects. Spring also brings April's national Dig Safe month. It is important to remember that no matter the size of the project, if it involves digging, everyone must identify, locate and mark any underground cables and utility pipes before shovels hit the ground. Homeowners who are excitedly waiting to start landscaping and outdoor renovation projects should visit 'Click Before You Dig Manitoba' as part of Dig Safe month. By law, every Manitoba homeowner or contractor must have the utilities in the area located before they dig. Not only does this process protect your home, but also prevents damage to buried infrastructure and the loss of essential services. "Whether you are hiring a contractor or doing the work yourself, if you dig, always contact Click Before You Dig Manitoba, no matter the size of the project," said Jack Winram, executive board member of the Manitoba Common Ground Alliance. It is important for homeowners to be aware that even if they feel their site is familiar, it still may be unsafe to dig because of natural erosions, or construction alterations and additions. Never take for granted it is safe to dig – just below the surface of the ground there could be gas, electrical or water lines. "Some people might think, 'I'm just planting a tree,' or, 'I'm just digging a fence post where there was a fence post before'," Winram said. "But even excavations like that are deep enough where there could be buried lines or pipes." "Often people are stunned when they learn their gas service might only be 18 inches below the ground," he added. "One click gives you the assurance that you are protecting your family, home and community." Contacting Click Before You Dig Manitoba is completely free, as well as the locate itself. Once a request is made, utility owners will visit the site to mark (locate) underground cables or pipes in the area of the planned dig. They will mark the buried infrastructure and send you records which will help you understand what is buried in your property and make sure you are able to avoid that when you begin your renovation or landscaping project. Manitobans are encouraged to learn more about Click Before You Dig Manitoba and how simple it is to request a locate.
