hope that each of you are doing well during this holiday season. 2020 has been a challenging
to stay on top of your dig tickets while managing your projects, so that there is no lapse in coverage.
These winter months can be a great time to reach out to farmers, as this
is the off-season for many. Whether farmers are ditch digging, sub soiling, ripping, plowing, or other farming operations, underground pipelines and utilities could be in danger. No matter the depth of excavation, 811 dig ticket must be submitted. The simplest way for farmers to submit dig tickets is online at Louisiana811.com. Providing exact locations for rural farm land is tough, so now you can easily map out the property of excavation with our user-friendly online portal.
Please let us know if we can do anything to help you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Let 2021 bring greatness to you all.

Winter weather is unpredictable, so if you find yourself with more time on the computer, please visit our Louisiana 811 YouTube channel as a helpful resource. We offer a variety of educational videos and playlists on safety and online ticketing tutorials. If you are looking for something that can’t be found on those videos, please let us know. As always, we are available for training.
Remember to call 811 or submit your dig ticket at Louisiana811.com at least
2 days, but not more than 5 days, excluding weekends and holidays, in advance of the commencement of any excavation or demolition activity. Dig tickets are valid for 20 calendar days, as long as the marks are visible. Be sure
