To avoid striking underground utility lines, contact 811 online at www.Georgia811.com or dial 811 before you dig.
关于我们
Georgia 811 is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to preventing damage to Georgia's underground utilities and promoting public safety. We function as a communication system, connecting our member utility companies with professional excavators and homeowners who are planning mechanized digging activity such as excavation, tunneling, grading, boring and demolition. Although it is not required by Georgia law to notify the Georgia 811 if a smaller, non-mechanized digging project is planned, we encourage residents to do so to ensure their personal safety and the safety of those around them. These projects can include installing a fence, deck, swing set or mail box; planting trees or landscaping. This notification system provides Georgia 811 members an opportunity to locate and identify any underground facilities they may have in an area where digging is planned. Call before you dig. The law protects us all. Georgia law mandates that, before beginning any mechanized digging or excavation work, you must contact Georgia 811 by calling 811 or 1-800-282-7411 at least 48 hours but no more than 10 working days in advance to have utility lines marked. Professional excavators may take a short training class and use EDEN to enter their locate requests online. Homeowners may apply online using the eTicket. Both are located on our website: www.Georgia811.com

?? “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.”
??♀? I was a late adopter of TikTok, and I still find it scarily "sticky." But seeing construction influencers like @highlightertiff reach our target audience with authentic content has been eye-opening. When videos about safe digging practices and #811beforeyoudig generate hundreds of thousands of views from people who actually work in construction – and spark real engagement – you see the potential for breakthrough impact without the cost burdens of mass-market strategies. We need fresh and effective approaches to reaching excavators where they are. Excited to keep exploring these new channels with partners who share our commitment to damage prevention. Creating meaningful change means trying unexpected platforms and strategies. Glad to be working alongside Lisa O'Leary on this outreach! #DamagePrevention #ConstructionSafety #EveryDigEveryTime

Last week Georgia 811 completed our Braselton Summit. While 400 had registered, due to hurricane restoration, our attendance dropped just below 300. We had a great day connecting with a lot of excavators and utility members. We are grateful to our vendors and sponsors. We still have one event left in Dalton, GA on Nov. 7th. If you are interested in attending, you can go to this link to register. https://lnkd.in/eb9cqVmj

Due to the damage left in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the potential impacts to Southeast Georgia from Hurricane Milton, many Georgia 811 members will not be able to promptly reply to incoming tickets and have declared Extraordinary Circumstances (EC). These members will respond to tickets with 3J codes and update their PRIS responses when the (EC) has expired. VISIT: https://lnkd.in/evuAFZH7 to view the list of those who have declared (EC) and their associated date ranges. We have also provided links to view extraordinary circumstance information for surrounding states. Please note, when the Governor declares a state of emergency there is no provision in GUFPA addressing how it impacts declaring extraordinary circumstances. Members still need to follow Georgia 811 procedures to invoke this status. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/evsMbHiv Questions? Contact the Georgia 811 Help Desk at [email protected] or 770-476-6050. Members can contact Member Services at [email protected] or 770-623-5786 for additional assistance or to declare Extraordinary Circumstances.
