We can tell you where they are, and even come out and put in marking stakes so you can get on with your work safely. Call before you dig. Most newer homes in Ontario have services delivered underground. This includes electricity, which comes into the house along buried cables. While underground cables mean prettier neighborhoods, they also increase hazards for people digging in their yards. Touch an electrical cable with a backhoe or even a hand shovel and the results could be fatal. WWe en is END MORpreupniars 22. s
