Georgia 811 Information

Mission: Georgia 811 will be an industry leader in promoting safety and preventing damage to underground and overhead facilities through high-quality education and notification services. Vision: Keeping Georgia Safe and Connected Core Values: Safety, Quality, Integrity, Strong Relationships, Clear and Effective Communication Georgia 811 is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to preventing damage to Georgia’s underground utilities and promoting public safety. We function as a communication system, connecting our member utility companies with professional excavators and homeowners who are planning mechanized digging activity such as excavation, tunneling, grading, boring and demolition. Although it is not required by Georgia law to notify Georgia 811 if a smaller, non-mechanized digging project is planned, we encourage residents to do so to ensure their personal safety and the safety of those around them. These projects can include installing a mailbox, putting up a fence, planting a tree, and other DIY projects that involve digging. website: Georgia811.com
