Alabama PUC News Releases: Area Code 483 and 811 Digging Month

The Alabama Public Service Commission (APSC) has published a collection of news releases for 2025. Key announcements include the planned implementation of the new 483 area code for Central and Southeast Alabama, scheduled to begin in 2026, and the designation of April as 811 Digging Month. These releases serve as informational notices regarding upcoming telecommunications changes and public safety awareness campaigns.

Regulated entities, particularly telecommunications providers, should note the upcoming area code implementation and prepare for the transition. While these are informational notices, awareness of the 811 Digging Month campaign is also relevant for companies involved in excavation or underground utility work to promote safe digging practices. No immediate compliance actions or penalties are detailed in these specific news releases.
