Call Before You Dig
If you are planning to excavate on your property where utilities such as electric, water, telephone, and natural gas lines are buried, Florida state law requires that you notify the affected utilities at least two days prior to excavating. The utilities are required to locate their utilities for you within two working days. This law aims to protect you from possible serious injury and from liability if your digging damages any underground utilities.

The City of Plantation Utilities Department is a member of the Sunshine State One-Call of Florida. This means that you can dial one toll-free number to notify all City utilities of your excavation project and request that the utilities locate their underground facilities for you. The toll-free number to call prior to your excavation work is 1 (800) 432-4770. This toll-free number is operational Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 7:30pm.
