Ontario One Call

Call Ontario One Call before you dig.

If you are planning to fence, landscape, build an addition to your house, excavate for a new porch or swimming pool, contact Ontario One Call to help protect yourself and others:  1-800-400-2255.

When you dig by hand or excavate with machinery, you risk damaging an underground network of natural gas pipes, telephone lines, hydro or fibre optic cables, and water and sewer pipes.  Utility companies will mark the location of the underground utilities with colout codes so you can safely dig without damaging the infrastructure.

Plan ahead.  Call Ontario One Call at least five working days before you start digging.

You can call Ontario One Call any time: 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
