Legislative Mandates for 2019

Colorado 811 is currently working with the State Safety Commission as we develop stakeholder educational training and software enhancements to accommodate the many mandates of C.R.S. 9.1.5.101-108. We expect to accommodate these new types of requests related to the new legislation before the beginning of Dig Season 2019.

Please visit our website regularly and follow our social media sites (Facebook and Twitter) as we strive to accommodate the provisions under the new law.

Questions or concerns can be directed to Director of Damage Prevention, Marty Mead, mtmead@co811.org.

Thank you,

Colorado 811

As a result, utility companies have long ago determined that driving utility lines underground is one of the best choices to make in terms of promoting the better use and organization of utility line layouts. So, you already know that when you turn your Smart TV on, your electric, cable and internet lines all get activated, and you get the power and signal necessary to use your TV set to watch your favorite shows.
