More Information
The Virginia Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act, or "Miss Utility Law", requires that Miss Utility be called 48 hours in advance of planned excavation work to allow time for marking, that the marks be respected and protected, and that excavation be completed carefully.
Call 811 or 1-800-552-7001. Failure to notify Miss Utility before you dig could make you liable for the cost of any repairs should you damage a utility service.
For your safety and to minimize disruptions to utility services you need to call Miss Utility to have any utility lines that might be in the area of your work marked so you can avoid damaging them or possibly injuring yourself. A representative from each utility company with service that might be affected by your work will mark the approximate location of their underground lines.
There is no charge for this service!
Within 48 hours any utility service lines in the area of your project will be marked by a spray painted line on the ground showing their approximate location.
