People in Jackson County, TN know this? I have to tell "Skillet". He would be surprised.

I was not aware of 811.

I normally use our state's website and just fill out a request - works very well. Hopefully they're not abandoning that system...

I haven't used it down here in TN, but it was one call in PA since at least 1990.

Call 811 before you dig through the underground utilities to get them mismarked...

Take pictures to document where everything was marked...

Call 911 after you dig through the mismarked underground utilities...

Hold up your pictures and say "not my problem" when everyone is pointing fingers...
