Each year, the NRCGA hosts an annual 811 Day event to talk to Nevadans where they’re already at! 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:

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