tool, just got a news letter from usa dig alert. was reading an artical in it on how they got started. they just got their 9 millionth call. they were formed after a chevron pipe line was dug up and exploded in 1976?. the amazing thing was that it happened less than 1 mile away from my house and we heard it and then walked to it.

it's good that you're hand digging around the utilities. better safe than sorry or dead.

galvanized or csst would work. if a straight run, go gal. csst is good for runs with lots of offsets.

if memory serves me, steel pipe needs to be 6'' above the ground. even for gas pipe.

good luck and stay dry.
