Southwest Gas Celebrates April National Safe Digging Month with Strong Safety Measures and an Increase in 811 Requests

Approaching this April, National Safe Digging Month highlights Southwest Gas's commitment to safety throughout Arizona, California, and Nevada.
Southwest Gas emphasizes calling 811 before digging to protect communities and critical infrastructure from damage and potential hazards.
In 2024, requests to 811 for marking underground lines increased by nearly 10 percent, demonstrating a growing awareness of safe digging practices.
Due to the increase in 811 requests, damages to underground utilities in Southwest Gas's tri-state territory decreased by 7 percent compared to 2023, preventing costly incidents.
Southwest Gas urges immediate evacuation and contact at 877-860-6020 or 911 if a natural gas leak is suspected, characterized by a sulfur-like odor, hissing sounds, or blowing dirt.
