Dominion Energy Urges Customers to Stay Safe, Contact 811 Before Digging
April is National Safe Digging Month
四月是全國安全挖掘月
RICHMOND, Va., April 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As warmer weather brings an increase in outdoor home improvement projects, Dominion Energy is reminding the public to stay safe and contact 811 to have their underground utility lines marked before any digging project begins.
弗吉尼亞州里士滿，2024年4月3日 /PRNewswire/ — 隨着天氣變暖帶來戶外家居裝修項目的增加，Dominion Energy提醒公衆注意安全，並在任何挖掘項目開始之前聯繫811對地下公用事業線路進行標記。
Landscaping, irrigation and fence installations are among the projects that routinely cause damage to underground utility lines. According to the Common Ground Alliance, a utility line is damaged every six minutes in the United States. 31 percent of these damages are caused by property owners who fail to contact 811 prior to breaking ground.
園林綠化、灌溉和圍欄設施是經常損壞地下公用事業線路的項目之一。根據Common Ground Alliance的數據，美國每六分鐘就有一條公用事業線路受損。這些損失中有31％是由業主在破土動工前未能聯繫811造成的。
To prevent injuries, service outages and traffic disruptions, Virginia law requires contractors and property owners to contact 811 and allow at least two working days before excavation begins.
爲了防止人員受傷、服務中斷和交通中斷，弗吉尼亞州法律要求承包商和業主聯繫811，並在挖掘開始前至少留出兩個工作日。
"National Safe Digging Month serves as a timely reminder for everyone to take advantage of this free service to protect themselves, their communities and the reliability of the power grid. Underground power lines play an important role in providing our customers the reliable energy they count on to power their homes and businesses every day," said Sylvia White, Director of Electric Distribution Operations Centers for Dominion Energy Virginia. "Safeguarding our underground utilities is our No. 1 priority, with third-party damage posing the biggest threat."
“全國安全挖掘月及時提醒所有人利用這項免費服務來保護自己、社區和電網的可靠性。地下電力線在爲我們的客戶提供他們每天爲家庭和企業供電所需的可靠能源方面發揮着重要作用。” 弗吉尼亞州Dominion Energy配電運營中心董事西爾維亞·懷特說。“保護我們的地下公用事業是我們的首要任務，第三方損害構成最大的威脅。”
