Summerville residents planning outdoor projects are being reminded to call 811 before beginning any digging or excavation work.

Whether installing a privacy fence, starting construction, or preparing for a pool project, homeowners and contractors are required by Georgia law to contact Georgia 811 at least three business days before digging begins.

Underground utility lines can include natural gas pipes, water mains, sewer lines, and electric cables. Striking one of those lines can cause service outages, costly repairs, injuries, or dangerous emergency situations.

The Georgia 811 service is free. After a request is submitted, utility companies will mark the approximate location of underground lines using color-coded paint or flags. Anyone digging near marked lines should use caution and hand tools when working within 24 inches of a marked utility.

Residents can contact Georgia 811 by dialing 811, calling 800-282-7411, or visiting Georgia811.com.

Summerville officials encourage everyone to help protect public safety and utility service by remembering one simple rule: call before you dig.

The City of Summerville is advising water customers that temporary low water pressure may be experienced due to maintenance work at the city’s water treatment plant.

The maintenance is scheduled to take place Monday, January 12, 2026, and is expected to be completed the same day. During this time, customers across the city may notice reduced water pressure as crews perform necessary work to maintain system operations.

City officials say the maintenance is part of routine efforts to ensure the continued reliability and safety of the water system and thank residents and businesses for their patience while the work is underway.

Normal water pressure is expected to return once maintenance is completed.
