Damage to underground utility lines is a major problem in the United States. Incidents caused by unsafe digging practices can compromise community safety and disconnect people from critical services.

Take advantage of this timely date, 8/11 day, and remind our coworkers, customers and communities to contact Georgia 811 at least 2 business days before digging by calling 811 or logging on to www.Georgia811.com
