CenterPoint Energy Inc. has issued an important safety reminder urging customers, contractors, and community members to dial 811 before undertaking any outdoor digging projects. This comes in response to numerous incidents of utility line damage, with over 3,100 natural gas line damages reported in 2024 alone due to failure to contact 811. The free 811 service helps locate and mark underground utility lines, preventing potential accidents. CenterPoint emphasizes the critical importance of this step to ensure the safety of individuals and the community. In case of a natural gas line strike, individuals should immediately evacuate the area on foot, avoid using any devices that could cause a spark, and contact 911 and CenterPoint from a safe location.
