When Did the Use of 811 to Detect Underground Utilities Really Start?

Image
The establishment of an abbreviated dialing program for locating underground utilities has been in the works well before its official acceptance in the year 2005. In the United States, the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 already required all utility services to have abbreviated numbers, but it was only three years later that the 3-digit number, 811 was established as the universal number for the 71 regional services that covered the location of utilities such as gas pipes and water mains.

Have you heard of the “call before you dig” saying? This essential recommendation applies to all those who need to use excavation as part of their construction or landscaping projects.

A more serious problem occurs when you hit a water or sewage pipe, or even a gas line. While the first two cases can be very destructive and the work required to fix the problem can be extensive, hitting a gas line can even be lethal. The main issue is that you never know what you’re going to hit. There were cases when building plans showed no undergrou...
