To provide central notification services and public education to prevent damage to underground facilities in Alabama.
Alabama 811 is a non-profit organization established under Alabama Act 94-487. Anyone engaging in excavation activities is required to notify underground facility owners prior to the start of excavation. Alabama 811 helps streamline this process by providing a "one call" service allowing excavators to notify area utility companies quickly and efficiently.
Alabama 811 is funded by it's member utility companies and is a free service to the excavating community.
