CALL BEFORE YOU DIG

No matter what type of fence project you are thinking about. It is important to contact the individual village or municipality for their local code regulations. It is even more important to call your local utilities office before you dig. Click on this link to locate your local utility office. This important step can help prevent power outages or service interruption.
