Planning home improvements? Planting a tree? Installing a fence or deck? Whether you do it yourself or hire a professional, a safe job starts with a call to Dig Safe® at 811. Dig Safe can mark out gas and electrical utilities; however, they do not mark out municipal utilities (water/sewer/drain). Now, you can request a free mark out of these City utilities by using a simple online form at https://salemma.viewpointcloud.com/categories/1099/record-types/6619. Use the form before starting your work and Salem Department of Public Services personnel will help you identify where municipal utility lines are in your work site. This can help you avoid costly disruptions later on. If you have questions, please call the Department of Public Services at 978-744-3302.
