Who to ask before you dig

Before underground work starts, several parties usually need to be involved, and knowing them in advance saves time.

The one-call center

Georgia 811 passes your locate request to the owners of buried facilities so that they can mark their lines.

The owner of the line

The public water and sewer systems set the rules for connecting to their mains and for work on their side of the meter or the property line. The property owner is responsible for the private side.

The owner of the surface

Work in a public street or right-of-way needs its owner's permit and restoration standard; on private land, the property owner decides how the surface is put back.

The electric utility

For power conduit, the electric utility sets requirements for its own facilities and the point of connection.

We ask about each of these for a Macon-Bibb County job and explain what each step involves. The work itself follows the familiar sequence of locating, exposing nearby lines with hydro excavation, trenching or drilling, installing or repairing, and restoring.

We serve homeowners, businesses, developers and public owners.

Georgia 811
