Safety

Call Us Before You Dig

Digging and underground power don’t mix! Before you begin any project that involves digging, contact your local Blue Ridge Electric office at least 48 business hours in advance. Underground power lines can be marked for your safety by the cooperative. There is no charge for this service but there could be substantial cost if you should cut through underground electric cables.

Coming into contact with an energized power line isn’t only dangerous, it can also be fatal. Damage to underground lines from digging can also disrupt power to you and many other members, and repairs can be costly.

For your safety, please contact Blue Ridge Electric before breaking ground. Your safety is our first priority!
