One Call System - "Tennessee 811"


 

 

Call Before You Dig Logo

 

Natural gas is safe, reliable, efficient, and underground. Always remember to call before you dig so you can find out where it's safe to dig in your yard. Be sure and call anytime you are thinking about landscaping, building a new swimming pool, installing a drain tile system or constructing a new building?

For your convenience The Cookeville Gas Department and other utilities have joined a “One Call System.” All you have to do is call the “One Call" number 72 hours prior to your planned excavation and provide them with the information concerning your work. They in turn will alert the utilities that are participating in the “One Call” program.

ONE CALL SYSTEM OF TENNESSEE

PLEASE CALL
811
Before you begin any type of excavation, please call the Tennessee 811 System. This program is designed to prevent excavation damage to pipelines, utilities, water lines and telecommunication systems. Violation of the "Call before you Dig" Act is a Class A misdemeanor and subject to a fine up to $2,500 and/or imprisonment for 48 hours.

Within 72 working hours, the Cookeville Gas Department will investigate the area of your work, and mark in yellow paint, flags, or stakes where our pipelines are located. Every effort is made to place the markings directly above the pipe, but could vary two feet in either direction. Depth is not usually indicated, requiring extreme caution while excavating in close proximity of a marked facility. It is highly recommended that pipelines be exposed by hand digging.
