Call Before You Dig

It's required by law in Montana
It's smart because doing so can prevent uneccessary damage and accidents
It's easy, just call: 1-800-424-5555

In addition to overhead lines, GEC has many underground electric lines. Because the lines cannot easily be seen, it is important that anyone performing construction contact One Call to have underground lines located. GEC subscribes to One Call to simplify this process. One Call is a service that provides member utilities with information about excavation, boring, pile driving, blasting, digging, etc. that may take place in their service area. This information allows GEC to send a locator to your job site to mark underground electric lines.

Montana state law requires that you contact One Call at least 48 hours before excavation is to begin. Besides the potential for loss of life, you can be held responsible for costs associated with the repair of a damaged underground utility line that has not been located through One Call.
