This is a contact point for Arizona’s 811 system. This system, also known as “Call Before You Dig,” connects individuals planning excavation work with a notification center. This center then alerts member utility companies, who mark the approximate location of their underground facilities. As an example, before installing a fence, a homeowner would contact this phone number to ensure that they do not inadvertently damage buried utilities such as gas lines or fiber optic cables.
Utilizing this service is essential for safety and legal compliance. Damage to underground infrastructure can be costly, dangerous, and result in legal penalties. The practice helps prevent service disruptions, environmental hazards, and personal injury. Historically, the rise of such services has stemmed from increasing urbanization and the expanding network of underground utilities.
