811 Day 2025
The NRCGA’s 811 Day Committee is in the planning stages for our 2025 program. Check back often for details!
National 811 Day (August 11)
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.
811 Day & the NRCGA
August 11 (8/11) serves as a reminder for Nevada homeowners and contractors to contact 811, or visit usanorth811.org, before starting any digging project.
Each year, the NRCGA hosts an 811 Day event at a popular location to bring the 811 safety message directly to Nevada homeowners. Striking a single utility line can result in injuries, costly repairs, service outages, or fines. Every digging project—no matter how big or small—requires contacting 811 in advance.
A call or click to 811 notifies the utilities in your area of your intent to dig. The utilities send out locators to mark the location of underground utility lines near your proposed excavation site. Knowing where the buried utility lines are helps prevent accidents and disruptions of service.
Examples of projects that need an 811 request include:
- Installing a mailbox
- Building a deck
- Planting a tree
- Laying a patio
We go where you are to spread the word about 811
