Call 811 Before You Dig - It's the Law!

Avoid inconvenient and potentially dangerous interruptions to your service by calling 811 before you dig. By law, prior to any digging, the excavator must notify the Sunshine One-Call Center at 850-432-4770 or 811 during normal business hours, excluding holidays.

When You Call

Here's what to expect when you make this free call:

• A service representative will ask you questions regarding the location of your planned excavation/dig. Two days after your request, a locate ticket will be issued to dig or excavate. Ample time is given to each utility owner in the area to respond and accurately locate his or her utility.
• The Sunshine One-Call law applies to everyone, including home owners who may be excavating for a flag pole installation, landscaping, pool or other excavation activities.
• Yellow pipeline markers are placed at key locations where a gas pipeline crosses streets, driveways, etc.
• Our markers have phone numbers on them requesting excavators to call prior to digging in the area.

In An Emergency

In the event that any person hits or punctures a gas line, stop all equipment and evacuate immediately. Call 911 or the Milton Police Department at 850-983-5420 at once. Report even minor damage, such as dents, scrapes or chips to the line. Do not cover the line.
