What could increase your property values AND lower your energy costs? Planting a tree! Visit your local garden center and be sure to contact 811 before you dig a hole for your newest home improvement. #PlantATree #Contact811
Heavy rain and flooding can shift soil, expose buried utilities, and wash away utility markings. Before starting or restarting any excavation project after severe weather, contact Kentucky 811 and request new utility markings. #SafeDigging #ShiftHappens
You know the timeline. You know the equipment. You know your role. Before every excavation (even if you've worked in the area before), contact 811. Because experience is valuable, but it isn't a substitute for safe digging practices. #Call811 #KnowWhatsBelow #DamagePrevention

White lining clearly communicates the dig area and is a best practice for safe digging. Ensure your excavation site is well marked to prevent damage and set up for safety. #WhiteLining #Whiteline #SafeDigging

Follow our step-by-step instructions to submit your request and ensure your digging project starts safely. Online filing allows you to provide detailed information about your project, track the status of your ticket, and receive timely updates. File online with 811.
811 only marks public utility lines. That means water, gas, sewer, and telecom lines running from the street to your home or business are covered—but privately installed lines are not. You’ll need to hire a #PrivateUtilities locator to ensure everything is marked before you dig.

Ever wondered what happens after you call Oregon 811? Our Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) process your ticket and coordinate with utility companies to mark underground utilities as part of the safe digging process. Join us in celebrating their hard work!

Utility companies have varying service areas and workloads, so sometimes facilities will get marked at different times. Once you submit your locate request, allow time for all lines to be marked, and don’t dig before you’re sure ALL lines have been marked. #DiggingSafety

We know you’ve got a green thumb, but did you get the “thumbs up” to dig that new garden? Don’t cut corners, remember to contact 811 to have your underground utilities marked before you dig. #GreenThumb
Digging without contacting 811 can lead to serious consequences, including utility damage, service disruptions, and even personal injury. Imagine hitting a gas line or severing a water line—these mistakes can be costly and dangerous. #Contact811
