Call Before You Dig

811b

811 (P.U.P.S. – Palmetto Utility Protection Service, Inc.)
811 that is all there is to it. One phone call before you dig can save you time and money. The phone call is free. All utilities that are members with PUPS will be notified with this one call. If a utility is not a member, please contact them directly.

After a ticket has been processed, you will know when you are legally free to proceed with the digging work and which utilities in the area PUPS will be notifying for you.
