Arizona 811 is a nonprofit utility information organization based in Tempe, Arizona. Established in 1974 following the state’s Underground Utility Protection Act, its primary function is to coordinate excavation notification and educate stakeholders to protect underground facilities from damage, with services provided free of charge to the state. The organization serves a broad audience involved in digging or construction, helping them locate buried utilities before work begins and thereby reducing the risk of utility strikes and related safety hazards. Operating within the utilities sector, Arizona 811 supports community safety by facilitating prompt utility location requests through its phone line and online ticketing system, and it offers educational outreach and training resources as part of its mission. The agency notes standard weekday hours and maintains several contact channels for customer support, presentations, and media inquiries.
