Call Before You Dig

We need your help in preventing damage to our pipelines. The most common cause of pipeline damage happens when a third party unknowingly digs, blasts or drills near a pipeline. If you plan to dig or do any type of excavation or construction work, federal and state law requires you to call your local One-Call locating service. A TEPPCO representative will locate and mark the underground pipeline at no cost to you. Call before you:
