811 Know what’s below. Call before you dig.

download

Whether you are planning to do it yourself or hire a professional, smart digging means calling 811 at least two days before each job. Homeowners often make risky assumptions about whether or not they should get their utility lines marked, but every digging job requires a call – even small projects like planting trees and shrubs.

If you expose or damage gas or electric lines, stop work and call Avista Utilities immediately at (800) 227-9187. Continue reading

The Avista website provides a list of emergency response details under the Safety tab.

Gas Leak
If you smell, hear, or see a gas leak, call us immediately at (800) 227-9187 from a cell phone or neighbors phone.
Although you can’t see natural gas, it’s all around you, maybe in your home, maybe running through pipes in your backyard. Colorless, odorless and lighter than air, natural gas becomes combustible when mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source. That’s why we add an odorant that smells like rotten eggs so you’ll know right away if there’s a problem. For more information on gas safety, visit online here.

Downed Power Line – call us immediately at 800-277-9187

Power Outage – call 800-277-9187 or report online here:
If your power goes out and you have not been notified in advance, please check both your electric meter and your circuit breakers. If the dial on your electric meter is spinning or if the display shows a read or flashing 88888’s, the issue will be with your equipment. Flip all your breakers to the off position and then back to the on position, including the main breaker.
