Congratulations to our winner Tim L. with Gana Trucking & Excavating, Inc.—you’ve just won two tickets to see the Huskers take on Michigan State on October 4! Didn’t win? You’re still a Dig Hero in our book. #Nebraska811 #811Day

It’s 811 Day, and we want to thank every Nebraska utility employee who helps protect what’s below. We’re also excited to announce the winner of our Safe Digging Partner Giveaway — congratulations to [Winner’s Name]! Thank you for helping us spread the safe digging message.

Some utility lines on your property aren’t marked through 811. To map those lines you’ll need to hire a private utility locator. It’s a smart step toward building a complete picture of what’s underground. Learn more on our website nebraska811.com/resources/priv…

Even simple structures can mean deep posts and anchors. That’s why contacting 811 before you dig isn’t just a suggestion, it’s a smart start that protects your home, your timeline, and your wallet from a major “oops” Safe projects start underground. Know what’s below, every time.

That quick backyard project can get expensive fast if you hit a shallow buried utility line. Before you dig, even just a few inches, contact 811 to have buried utilities marked. It’s free, it’s easy, and it can save you from a costly lesson.
