Louisiana 811 had a great time sharing safety and damage prevention information with the students at MPS Plumbing School today!

Thank you to MPS Plumbing School for inviting us and hosting the presentation, and to Nathan with Delta Utilities for helping lead it. The students had so many great questions that we were still answering them on our way to the parking lot!

Thanks for asking the important questions. We look forward to seeing the next class!

Are you a First Responder in Greater St. Bernard Parish? Your hard work is being recognized by the Southeast Louisiana Utility Coordinating Council (SELA UCC). The council works to support local governments, utility companies, and excavators in working together to build and maintain underground infrastructure while supporting the Louisiana 811 "Call Before Your Dig" message.

Usually the first at a pipeline/utility strike scene, first responders take immediate steps to protect the public from potential danger and control risk. To say thank you during National First Responder Week, SELA UCC is providing FREE lunch on Friday October 30, 2026, to all Fire, Police, and EMS personnel in Greater St. Bernard Parish. See flyer for details.

St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office Atmos Energy NuLine Utility Services, LLC

In appreciation for First Responders and the phenomenal work they do to support the utility industry, the SELA UCC will be hosting its first lunch giveaway for Police, EMS, and Fire personnel at the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office Special Ops building. Thanks for all you do to keep our communities safe!

Special thanks to event sponsors Atmos Energy and NuLine Utility Services!

WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT… THE TOOL OR THE PERSON USING IT?

In damage prevention, we can buy the best equipment, the latest technology, and the most advanced systems. But none of it matters without trained, engaged people who know how to use it and care enough to do it right.

Technology can enhance performance.
People determine outcomes in my opinion.

So where should we invest first? Please comment below for some good conversation and don't be surprised if I ask you questions to help spur good ideas.

Columbus may have stumbled upon America, but when it comes to underground utilities, there's no need to make unexpected “discoveries!”

We already know underground utilities are there—that's why you should contact 811 before you dig! Let the pros locate the lines so you can avoid any unpleasant surprises. Safe digging is no accident!
