Call 811 Before You Dig

Georgia law requires everyone–including homeowners–to contact Georgia 811 at least 48 hours before beginning any mechanized digging on your property. Electric cable, gas lines, water lines and waste-water lines could all be present under your property. Hitting these lines could result in injury, property damage or pollution of the environment.

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. Requests are accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Georgia 811 will assist you in choosing a safe site for your excavation activities.
