promise811
This year, we worked with the Common Ground Alliance to create a website called The 811 Promise. The site was created to promote the safe digging message and encourage visitors to promise to always make a free call to 811 a few days before digging.

Calling 811 is the first step in the damage prevention process to learn the approximate location of underground utilities that include gas, electric, phone, internet, water and sewer. Spring is traditionally the peak time for digging activity, making this a perfectly timed campaign that will help keep communities safe and connected.

When you visit www.The811Promise.com you will be asked to enter basic contact information, including your name, email address, location and your stakeholder group. Then with a single click you can make The 811 Promise. Please also consider sharing this website with friends and family through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or email using the share tools at the top of the page.

Thank you for making The 811 Promise and for always calling 811 before digging.
