Miss Utility of Virginia: For ALL excavation work ANYWHERE in Virginia! Call 1-800-552-7001
Call Miss Utility of Virginia From 7 am to 5 PM weekdays (except Virginia state and federal holidays)
Miss Utility is the free "one call" Virginia communications center for excavators, contractors, property owners, and those planning any kind of excavation or digging. The Miss Utility center notifies participating utilities of the upcoming excavation work so they can locate and mark their underground facilities in advance to prevent possible damage to underground utility lines, injury, property damage and service outages.
The "Miss Utility Law" (Virginia Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act ) requires that Miss Utility be called at least 3 working days in advance of the planned work to allow time for marking, that the marks be respected and protected, and that excavation be completed carefully. References to "working day" means every day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and legal state and national holidays.
