Ready To Dig?

Safe digging is everyone’s responsibility…and it begins with you!

Safe digging starts when you call Georgia 811. By law, everyone – including homeowners – must contact Georgia 811 by visiting my.georgia811.com or by dialing  811 or 1-800-282-7411 at least three business days before beginning any mechanized digging on your property. If you are unsure as to whether you should notify Georgia 811 before you break ground, remember, even if your digging project is small, it’s always best to call!

On our website you will find important safety information such as what to do before you dig; safe digging practices, what the color-coded markings mean, answers to frequently asked questions, and much more. Click here to view our Homeowner Brochure and click here to view our Homeowner Flyer.
