Electricity is integral to everything we do in modern life, at work and home. Since it is invisible, we often go through our daily routines without giving the power of electricity much thought.
The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) has important tips and information about staying safe around electricity.
License to Live: Take a moment with your friends and family to review what to do if a vehicle comes in contact with power lines. Always assume downed power lines are still energized and stay away until a uniformed lineworker confirms the area is safe.
Hydroelectric Safety: Do you live, work, or participate in recreation activities near one of Dairyland's hydroelectric generating resources, Flambeau Hydroelectric Station or Sartell Hydro Project? If so, take a moment to review the following safety resources.

If you are calling from a cell phone at a location near a state border, use the "800" number listed above because your cell phone could "ping" a tower in a neighboring state and direct you to the wrong statewide organization to locate lines on your property. State locating services (811) will only locate utility-owned facilities; property owners must utilize another service to mark private facilities. |
