What is 811? 811 “Call Before You Dig” is the national call-before-you-dig phone number and was created to provide you with a nationwide, easily accessible resource when you are digging. Every dig requires a call. If you plan to do any digging, you must call 811 or visit your state 811 center’s website (in Minnesota, www.gopherstateonecall.org) to request location of buried utilities be marked with paint or flags. Doing so will protect you from unintentionally digging into an underground utility line, expense of repair and possible injury.
