GREENSBORO, NC (July 15, 2015) NC811 began a Safe Digging Partner program in April of 2015.  The program signifies a commitment to help prevent damages to buried utilities. To become a partner, all that’s needed is to sign a pledge to ‘Call 811 Before You Dig’.  NC811 will provide safe digging partner stickers to place on vehicles and equipment in order to spread the 811 message to the public.  Each month NC811 will choose a Safe Digging Partner that exemplifies this commitment and will spotlight them with recognition.
