By law, companies that own or operate underground utility lines must join one of the two one call centers in the state of New York (New York 811 and UDIG NY).
New York 811 offers two membership options: participating members (e.g. utility companies, municipalities and others whose mission is to help protect New York City and Long Island’s underground infrastructure) and sustaining members (those companies that do not own or operate underground utilities but are still interested in damage prevention).
Members meet annually to discuss relevant issues and concerns, outreach initiatives, damage prevention, safe digging and other matters. Many are also involved in our NY811 CGA Regional Partner Committee.
