Georgia 811 Notice

Call Georgia 811 by simply dialing "811" at least two business days prior to digging!

 

Who should call 811?

Everyone who plans to dig! In Georgia, it is the law.

Why should people call 811?

The main reason is safety. Having the approximate location of underground utility lines clearly marked before digging reduces the risk of hitting a line, which can lead to serious injury or death, disrupt service to the community and potential fines and repair costs.
