?? “I know that people say that this is just another administrative step and we don’t have time in the schedule, but it’s important that we make time to follow the proper procedures." Have you seen our latest #811BeforeYouDig influencer's important message? Our Education & Marketing Committee, led by Washington Gas's Rosemary Langowski and Georgia 811's Megan Estes, championed CGA's new influencer outreach program and tapped Underground Service Alert of Northern California & Nevada's Collin Miyadi to head up the task team. In the wise words of @highlightertiff on TikTok, "Not only can contacting 811 be a matter of life or death, but you face the risk of reputational and financial damages by skipping this very simple step.”

Great week at French Lick Resort presenting an update on the Common Ground Alliance #50in5 initiative. Great seeing so many CGA members and meeeting some new ones! Well done Indiana 811!

"One more second and he would've been dead." This is a must-read news item reported by NBC Boston highlighting the critical need for accurate utility maps in keeping communities safe and connected. Kudos to the state regulator (and CGA member), the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, for its engagement on this issue.

"Nevada can solidify its position as a model for safe digging practices nationwide by focusing on utility mapping accuracy and access." Did you see Sarah Magruder Lyle and Underground Service Alert of Northern California & Nevada Executive Director James Wingate's op-ed in the Las Vegas Sun this week?
