Call Before You Dig (Kentucky 811)

Before you begin any project that will require digging into your property, be aware that there could be underground utility lines that could both present a hazard or if damaged could interrupt your services.

The Kentucky 811 program, commonly known as BUD, provides a simple way to request utility marking prior to any digging. For more information or to request utility location marking, call 811 or visit kentucky811.org.

OMU and other participating companies will designate their underground utilities free of charge through the KY811 program.

OMU will mark customer-owned underground electric service free of charge within 48 hours of the receipt of a signed release of liability form. OMU will mark, within 48 hours, underground water lines up to your meter at no charge.

OMU’s release forms are provided here.
