Know Before You Dig: Updating Service Area Maps
Every month Georgia 811 will highlight an educational topic in this new “Know Before You Dig” feature. Follow these tips and share with colleagues so you can stay on top of damage prevention information.
Keeping your Service Area Map up to date is one of the best ways to help prevent damage. When your map is current, you will get notified of any excavation that is planned near your underground or overhead utilities.
Remember, if you add new facilities outside your existing service area, it’s time for an update!
Take a few minutes to log into the Service Area Editor, review your map, and make any changes needed.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our Member Services Department at memberservices@georgia811.com.
