The Virginia Utility Protection Service, commonly called VA811​ is the not-for-profit organization created by Virginia's utilities to protect their underground facilities.

The Process
• An individual or company is planning to excavate.
• A call is made to 811.
• Information is gathered about the excavator and the proposed dig site. 
• Caller verified the proposed dig site on our map to ensure the correct utilities are notified.
• This information is electronically delivered to member utilities.
• Member utilities mark their utility lines or employ a contract locator to perform their locates.
• The locator responds to our Positive Response System and a response is sent to the excavator.
