World Red Cross Day is observed every year on May 8 to honor the humanitarian efforts of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
DAY MAY 11, 2025
National Public Works Week is an annual observance in the United States and Canada during the third full week of May This year it takes place from May 18th to May 24th Spearheaded by the American Public Works Association (APWA), this week serves as a crucial platform to educate the public about the vital role public works plays in their daily lives and to give recognition to the dedicated individuals who are the backbone of these essential services These professionals are responsible for the planning, design, construction, management, and operation of the infrastructure and services that are fundamental to the well-being of communities The aim is to elevate the profile of these often unsung heroes and foster greater public confidence in their work Encompassing a broad spectrum of services from transportation and water management to waste disposal and emergency response, public works is integral to the smooth functioning of society
The theme for the 2025 celebration, "People Purpose Presence," underscores the dedication and significant impact of public works professionals within their communities Established in 1960 by the APWA, National Public Works Week has a rich history of garnering recognition from various levels of government. Across the nation, public works agencies and professionals engage with their communities through parades, open houses, educational programs, and interactive events to highlight the importance of their work. Here in Deer Park, Texas, the significance of public works is similarly acknowledged as the city recognizes the professionals who diligently maintain the infrastructure that underpins the city's functionality and contributes to the high quality of life enjoyed by its residents.
One of the most common reasons people skip contacting 811 before digging is the belief that their project isn't deep enough to hit underground utilities This dangerous misconception puts lives and property at risk every day.
The truth about underground utilities:
● Some utilities are buried inches below the surface
● Erosion and maintenance can affect utility depth over time.
● Utility depth can vary widely, even within the same property
● There is NO "safe depth" for digging without proper notification
Remember, hitting a utility line can result in:
● Serious injury or death
● Service disruptions to entire neighborhoods
● Expensive repairs and fines
● Project delays and business losses
● Legal liability
Whether you're a homeowner planting a garden, installing a mailbox, or a professional excavator working on a major project: Contact Texas811 at least two business days before every dig, every time
When the stakes are this high, is "I didn't think it was deep enough" really a risk you want to take? No amount of experience can tell you exactly what's underground at every site Every new dig requires a new 811 notification
This National Safe Digging Month, make a commitment to contact 811 before every dig, every time no matter how shallow the project may seem
You can find more damage prevention resources online at Texas811.org and 811beforeyoudig.com.
