Report
Summary
Arizona 811 provides its members with access to a state-of-the-art computer system used to receive notifications of excavation activity within the geographic areas where they own and operate underground facilities. Participation in this program is legally required of all underground facility owners or operators with the right to bury underground facilities in the right-of-way pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute 40-360.21-32. Not receiving these excavation notices will result in damage and service outages to the City's internal and external customers who currently use underground communications cable for voice, data and video service.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
