Membership
Membership is free
There are no dues and no tiers. If you work around underground utilities in the Denver metro area, you're welcome at the table — and you don't need to join before showing up to a meeting.
Who belongs here
Damage prevention only works when every party to a dig is in the conversation. That means the council is deliberately mixed.
- Excavation and construction contractors
- Utility owners and facility operators
- Utility locating companies
- Cities, counties and special districts
- Engineers, designers and SUE firms
- Equipment dealers and vacuum excavation providers
- Pipeline and midstream operators
- Anyone who permits, inspects or specifies underground work
What you get
- A direct line to the other side
- The fastest way to resolve a recurring locate problem is to talk to the person responsible for it. At a council meeting they are sitting across the table.
- Local damage data
- County-level Colorado 811 damage figures for the metro, reviewed together — including which causes are actually driving incidents in your area.
- Free safety education
- Colorado 811's Denver Metro field liaison provides safety presentations to member organizations at no cost.
- Regulatory updates
- What the Underground Damage Prevention Safety Commission is enforcing, and what changes in Colorado law mean in practice.
- Events
- The Breakfast & Tradeshow, excavator breakfasts, golf tournament and safety days — most free to attend.
- A say in the work
- Councils run on volunteers. If you want outreach in your county, the way to get it is to help make it happen.
