SAFETY FIRST
Call Before You Dig
Before starting any digging project, Alabama law requires you to contact 811 at least three business days in advance. This free service marks the location of underground utilities to keep you and your community safe.
- Contact 811 a few days before digging to request that buried utilities in your yard be marked.
- Wait a few days for all utilities to respond to your request.
- Confirm that all utilities have responded.
- Respect the utility marks or flags.
- Dig carefully around buried utilities.
