CenterPoint Energy is reminding customers in Texas, including those in Willis, to contact 811 before starting outdoor digging projects. This safety step is essential to prevent damage to underground utility lines. Contacting 811 is free and should be done a few business days before digging begins.

The reminder is part of National 811 Day, and it applies to projects of all sizes. CenterPoint Energy has approximately two million customers in Texas, and the company is urging all of them to take this important safety precaution. Further details about the importance of contacting 811 before digging are available from CenterPoint Energy and Hello Woodlands.
