Today, the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners proudly presented the 811 “Call Before You Dig” Proclamation in recognition of safe digging practices and public awareness.
This proclamation highlights the importance of contacting 811 before any excavation or digging project to protect underground utilities, prevent service disruptions, and ensure community safety. In Georgia, calling 811 is not just recommended—it’s required by law prior to most digging activities so that utility lines can be properly marked.
By promoting the “Call Before You Dig” message, Rockdale County is helping reduce accidents, avoid costly damages, and protect essential infrastructure that serves our residents every day.
Remember: Call 811 before you dig—it’s free, it’s easy, and it keeps everyone safe.
