Pre‑start inspections keep equipment reliable and safe. Check fluids, tires or tracks, lights, alarms, guards, and controls. Look for leaks, cracks, or loose parts. Test steering and brakes. Fix issues before operating to prevent failures and protect workers. #SCGA #Sask1stCall

Winter roads demand patience and attention. Slow down on icy stretches, leave extra space, and watch for snowplows and crews. Black ice hides in shadows, wind reduces visibility, and sudden drifts can catch drivers off guard. Steady, alert driving keeps everyone safe. #SCGA #Sask1stCall

Safe winter digging starts with visibility, stability, and control. Clear snow, mark utilities, and watch for icy ground that shifts equipment. Slow movements, steady footing, and constant communication keep crews protected when the cold raises every risk. #SCGA #Sask1stCall

Protecting utilities—above ground and below—keeps communities safe. Guarding exposed meters and shielding buried lines prevents strikes, leaks, and outages. Strong barriers, clear markings, and safe digging practices protect the systems we all rely on. #SCGA #Sask1stcall

SCGA tells Elk Grove council basin is not overdrafted, flags Harvest Water and bank projects
Perrette Harmon of the Sacramento Central Groundwater Authority told the Elk Grove City Council that the South American Subbasin’s estimated sustainable yield is about 235,000 acre‑feet per year, recent pumping was below that level, and regional projects such as Harvest Water (expected online in 2027) could supply roughly 50,000 acre‑feet annually to reduce pumping.

Installing or fixing sprinkler lines this fall? Always click before you dig. Utility lines don’t stay where you expect, and even small trenches can cause big problems. A free locate keeps your project safe, fast, and damage‑free. #ClickBeforeYouDig #SCGA #Sask1stCall

Harvest season means more machinery on rural roads. Stay alert for slow‑moving combines, trucks, and grain carts, especially at dawn and dusk. Give equipment plenty of space, expect wide turns, and be patient — everyone’s working hard to bring the crop in safely. #SCGA #Sask1stCall

Ever wonder what’s beneath your feet? A hidden network of underground utilities—power, gas, water, telecom—running just below the surface. Those markings and flags aren’t random. They map the world you can’t see. Look out below and always dig safe. #DigSafe #SCGA #Sask1stcall
