Before you begin any work, including construction, you should always check your local and state laws, regulations, and guidelines, as well as federal standards. The Code of Alabama requires all persons, including homeowners, responsible for digging, excavating, or blasting must provide at least two business days advance notice to the owners of any underground facilities in the area.

*The two working days notice does not include the day of the notification request.

Notification to Franklin Electric Cooperative can be made by calling 811 from anywhere in Alabama or 800-292-8525 from outside of the state of Alabama. Your request can also be made online by visiting the Homeowner Locate Request Portal.

You will be asked to provide necessary information pertaining to your project and location.
