Promoting Safe Digging on 8/11 – Call Before You Dig

---

Each year on August 11 (8/11), the NRCGA partners with the Common Ground Alliance, the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and damage prevention stakeholders nationwide to promote the 811 Call Before You Dig message.

August 11 serves as a timely reminder for Nevada homeowners and contractors to contact 811, or visit usanorth811.org, before starting any digging project. This free service marks underground utility lines to help prevent accidents and disruptions.

To raise awareness, the NRCGA’s 811 Day Committee hosts outreach events at popular locations across Nevada, bringing the safety message directly to the community. Striking a single utility line can result in injuries, costly repairs, service outages, or fines. That’s why every digging project—no matter how big or small—requires contacting 811 in advance.

Examples of projects that need an 811 request include:

• Installing a mailbox
• Building a deck
• Planting a tree
• Laying a patio
