Call Before You Dig!
Before beginning any construction project that involves digging with heavy equipment, remember to call the Utilities Protection Center of Georgia at 1-800-282-7411 BEFORE you dig. Why? It's the law. And more importantly, it could prevent property damage and even loss of life. Severed lines result in costly repairs, property damage, potential environmental incidents and, in the case of electricity and natural gas, serious injuries or loss of life.
The Utilities Protection Center will forward your construction location to the appropriate utility to determine where the utility services - water, sewer, natural gas, electric and telecommunications - are located.

Please note: If you damage utility services because you haven't called the Utilities Protection Center to have the services properly located by your local utility, YOU are liable for any damages incurred as well as an often costly repair.
