YES! The depth of an underground utility can change due to many factors including construction, past excavation activities, or natural occurrences such as erosion, heavy rainfall or drought.  Ohio law requires a notification to OHIO811 before every dig, Notifying OHIO811 helps to keep you safe and prevents damage to essential services you and your neighbors rely on.

To be clear, ORC 3781.28(A) states as follow:

“(A) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (C), (D), (E), and (F) of this section, at least two working days, not including the day of the notification, but not more than sixteen calendar days before commencing excavation, the excavator shall notify the protection service of the location of the excavation site and the date on which excavation is planned to commence.”
