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, to remind coworkers, customers and communities to contact Georgia 811 at least three business days before digging by calling 811 or logging on to www.Georgia811.com

Below you will find some resources created to help you share this important safe digging information.

  • Contact your corporate media representative and ask to add the Georgia 811 logo with tagline to your company’s homepage, bill pay site, or as a banner on the company’s Facebook page. Graphics are available under the “Resources” tab and “Share Georgia 811.”
