Some of these services may be very close to the surface. Digging in the wrong spot could cut off essential services not just to one home, but to an entire com- munity. And, damaged piping could create a safety hazard to the homeowner or to others. Ironically, most '"'discoveries" are not only costly, but un- necessary.

Homeowners or contractors are . required by law to ascertain the location of any underground gas pipes on the site where they plan to dig before starting to dig. Not only would they be responsible for at least the cost of repairs if a utility line was damaged; careless digging could also result in a costly lawsuit. Play it safe.

Leaflets which contain the "Call Before You Dig" phone numbers for your area are being mailed with the April gas bills to all Consumers Gas customers.

The zebra 'mussel has clogged water intake pipes, damaged ship hulls, sunk navigational buoys and wrecked ,beaches, he says. In addition, the mussel is destroying spawning beds, depleting the food sources of young fish by consuming up to one-third of a lake's plankton.
