CenterPoint Energy offers a reminder to Minnesotans: Call before you dig. 
Before beginning a yard project that requires digging, contact 811 to have underground utilities located at no cost. CenterPoint reminds customers that this includes projects done by them or their contractors, including building a fence, planting trees, installing a deck, placing a mailbox, or laying a patio.
