SUMMARY : Proclaims the month of April 2010 as California Safe
Digging Month. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1)In California, there are two One Call Centers to call and
request the marking of utility line locations prior to
digging: the Underground Service Alert of Southern California
(USA/SC) and the Underground Service Alert of Northern
California and Nevada (USA North); and, calling 811 to be
connected to a One Call Center prior to digging, will help
keep Californians safe and prevent damage and destruction.
2)The services provided by the One Call Centers are at no cost
to the caller; and, the free notification service provided by
USA/SC and USA North has resulted in a dramatic reduction in
the number of accidents causing personal injury and the
interruption of vital services.
3)Through education about safe digging practices, excavators,
and homeowners can save time and money and keep our Nation
safe and connected by making a simple call to 811 in advance
of any digging project.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
