LAS VEGAS, April 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- National Safe Digging Month, observed annually in April when spring has sprung and peak digging season begins, is the perfect time to remind the public about the importance of calling 811 before beginning any digging project.

  • "Southwest Gas is committed to the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas service to our customers and the communities we serve," said Laura Nelson, Vice President of Sustainability and External Affairs.
  • Southwest Gas reminds anyone who thinks they may have damaged an underground natural gas line or suspects a natural gas leak, even if they're not a natural gas customer, to leave the area immediately and call 911 and Southwest Gas at 877-860-6020.
