Power, water, gas and many other lines crisscross most urban areas. Even rural areas feature heavy concentrations of underground lines. To avoid hitting a line, call before you dig. The Kentucky Dig Law (KRS 367.4901 to KRS 367.4917) was passed in 1994. As a result, Kentucky state law requires all persons excavating to call at least two full business days before digging, and no more than 10 business days prior to digging.
Kentucky 811 is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to process locate requests or address questions regarding a locate request. The toll free number is 811 or 800-752-6007. Kentucky 811 is a free statewide computer operated communication system, designed to save time, money, costly lawsuits, and dramatically reduce accidental dig-ins. Kentucky 811 does not factor state and federal holidays in the 2 Business Day Notice required by law. When a Locate Request is submitted and a holiday falls sometime in the 2 business day notice then the date the holiday is observed will not be considered in the 2 business day notice.
