Before You Dig | New Braunfels Utilities
Why Planning Ahead Matters
Before starting any digging or excavation project on your property—whether you’re installing a fence, planting trees, building a driveway, or preparing for construction—it’s important to know what’s below the surface. Underground water, electric, and other utility lines can be hidden just inches beneath the ground, and striking one can be dangerous, expensive, and disruptive.
New Braunfels Utilities is here to help you plan safely, avoid damage, and protect both your property and your community.
Why Calling Before You Dig Matters
Digging without knowing what’s underground can:
• Put people at risk
• Interrupt essential services
• Damage public infrastructure
• Lead to costly repairs
• Delay your project
A little planning up front helps prevent major problems later. Understanding how underground systems work—and how they’re protected—keeps projects safer for everyone involved.
Simply call Texas811 or request to dig via their online portal. It is the easiest way to hold yourself or your business accountable for future excavation projects.
