We were proud to stand in support of HB 1335, authored by Representative Stan Gerdes, during yesterday’s hearing in the House Committee on Energy Resources. This bill would strengthen the state’s 811 One Call system by requiring Class B water and wastewater utilities to participate- an important step toward improving underground safety and damage prevention in Texas. We stand alongside Texas811 in supporting this effort. Bree Wink (Fire Line Services Inc.) and Chase Barker (CE Barker) testified on behalf of NUCA Texas, sharing valuable insight on the importance of strengthening the 811 system and advancing damage prevention for our industry. We also appreciated the testimonies of Perry Fowler and Scott Sasajima with Texas811. Their leadership and advocacy have been crucial in advancing efforts to improve the One Call system and promote damage prevention across the state. Thank you to everyone helping move this effort forward! #WeDigTexas #Texas811 #HB1335 #UndergroundSafety #DamagePrevention #LegislativeSession #OneCall #ExcavationSafety NUCA North Texas, NUCA Gulf Coast, NUCA San Antonio (fb)
