Palmetto Utility Protection Service

SC811 provides a communication service, which enables anyone planning to excavate anywhere in South Carolina to provide notice to its members of that intent. SC811 provides toll free telephone number 811 or (888) 721-7877 for the excavator to call. As each call is received, it is entered into the SC811 computer system and the "locate request notice" containing the location of the excavation and other information are automatically dispatched to each affected member. Upon receipt of a "locate request notice" the affected members dispatch their personnel or contract locator to mark their underground facilities in the area of excavation. There is no charge to the caller for this service. SC811 is a very crucial part of our members' damage prevention and safety programs. SC811 offers a damage prevention training program, conact us at (803) 939-1117 dial 1 to sign up for a class. All conversations are recorded and maintained by SC811. This information is available to SC811 members upon written request for 3 years.
