About us
The Virginia Utility Protection Service, commonly called VA811 is the not-for-profit organization created by Virginia's utilities to protect their underground facilities. The Process • An individual or company is planning to excavate. • A call is made to 811. • Information is gathered about the excavator and the proposed dig site. • Caller verified the proposed dig site on our map to ensure the correct utilities are notified. • This information is electronically delivered to member utilities. • Member utilities mark their utility lines or employ a contract locator to perform their locates. • The locator responds to our Positive Response System and a response is sent to the excavator.

Election Day Is November 5th. Damage Prevention stakeholders in Virginia would like to remind you, on every day but especially on November 5th, to always Dig with CARE. If you suspect any upcoming projects may be near a polling site, we recommend scheduling any tickets after the election and avoiding scheduling them for the day before or on Election Day. You can do so by utilizing Virginia 811’s scheduling options. Scheduling tickets allows excavations to be scheduled up to 12 working days in advance, offering greater flexibility for marking work dates. Once scheduled, excavation tickets will remain open for 15 working days after the specified start date. Thank you for your continued commitment to underground utility damage prevention. By working together, we can ensure that Virginia’s election process goes smoothly without any disruptions to essential services. For information on Scheduling of Tickets, visit: https://lnkd.in/egfF8VW8 . If you are unsure whether you are working near a polling location, you can check the VA Department of Election Polling Place Lookup to find the nearest polling site here: https://lnkd.in/gA2q84cH. #EveryDigEveryTime #DigWithCARE #KnowWhatsBelow #Virginia811 #DamagePrevention #UtilityProtection #DigSafe
