If you are putting up a post and platform playground that requires you to dig holes 2 ft or more into the ground be sure check on a few things first!
1) Make sure that all public and private water, gas, sewage and utility lines have been marked on your site.
2) Make sure that you have the proper authorization to be digging on your site. For example: if your area requires you to have a ticket in hand and utility extension done 48 hrs prior to digging. Not all areas require this, be sure to check if yours does.
3) If any line is hit shut the bobcat or digging machine off - DO NOT pull the auger bit out of the ground until the line has been shut off and the area is safe and clear.
4) If you hit any line after it has been turned off, repair what is necessary before you continue digging so that when you turn the line back on it does not harm your holes in your site any more.
HAPPY DIGGING!
