JUNO BEACH, Fla., 8 de agosto de 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Cada ocho minutos, alguien en los EE. UU. daña una tubería subterránea de servicios públicos – causando potenciales lesiones, interrupciones del servicio eléctrico y riesgos medioambientales. Más de un 99 por ciento de estos accidentes puede evitarse llamando al 8-1-1 para que señalicen las tuberías subterráneas. Este 11 de agosto (8/11), y todos los días, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) recomienda a los propietarios de hogares y contratistas de la Florida que llamen al 8-1-1 por lo menos dos días hábiles antes de comenzar cualquier proyecto de excavación para ayudarlos a mantenerse seguros – es gratis, fácil y requerido por ley.

"Ya sea que plante un árbol, instale una tarima o una cerca, o que excave una zanja de drenaje, todos los trabajos de excavación requieren una llamada al 8-1-1. Saber dónde están enterradas las tuberías subterráneas le ayudará a protegerse y a evitar daños a los equipos, interrupciones del servicio eléctrico, riesgos medioambientales y multas", dijo Cheryl Ritter, gerente del departamento de seguridad y educación de Sunshine 811, la organización que ofrece el servicio gratuito de llamadas.

Cada empresa de servicio público en el área señalizará sus tuberías con banderas o pintura de colores para indicar la ubicación aproximada de las líneas, tuberías y cables. Recuerde llamar por lo menos con dos días hábiles de anticipación.

  • Rojo – Electricidad
  • Amarillo – Gas, combustible
  • Naranja – Comunicaciones, teléfono, cable
  • Azul – Agua potable
  • Verde – Alcantarilla, drenaje
  • Púrpura – Aguas grises
  • Blanco – Sitio propuesto de excavación

"En FPL, la seguridad de nuestros clientes y de las comunidades en las que ofrecemos servicio es nuestra prioridad principal. Utilizamos miles de millas de líneas eléctricas subterráneas, además de tuberías de petróleo y gas natural, para ayudar a suministrar combustible a nuestras plantas eléctricas y proporcionar electricidad asequible y fiable a nuestros aproximadamente 4.7 millones de clientes. Recomendamos a todos los residentes de la Florida que nos ayuden a mantener la infraestructura eléctrica y a ellos mismos seguros llamando al 8-1-1 antes de excavar", dijo Manny Miranda, vicepresidente de suministro de electricidad de FPL.
