One of the most potentially hazardous situations in residential areas and construction sites is accidentalcontact with underground electric power lines. Smart digging means knowing where utility lines are buried before you dig in order to protect yourself from injury and prevent damage to underground utility lines.
You can avoid this problem by calling an underground line locating service. There’s no charge for the service, and the call is toll-free. Calling before you dig can not only save you money from a damage claim, it can also save your life.
Dig Safely!
A new, federally-mandated national "Call Before You Dig" number, 811 was created to help protect you from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines while working on digging projects.
Georgia State Law requires you to call the Utilities Protection Center of Georgia
at (800) 282-7411 before doing any type of digging or working near underground or overhead power lines.
