In Reply to: Call before you dig posted by cuby on May 29, 2016 at 07:49:38:
I work for an excavating company so I deal with this everyday. The 811 number is just a national one call number that gets to the locate notifcation center in your state. In IL its called JULIE. They notify the companies that need to locate that have utilites in the area. Most utility companies now contract the locates out through a locate service. In IL where I am, USIC locates for AMEREN,NICOR,ATT,VERIZION,COMCAST,COMED. So one guy usually locates the entire locate request. They only mark what is shown on their map and only to meters. Anything after meters is considered private and you are on your own. The villages here usually mark water to the curbstop shutoffs by the sidewalks, after that you own them. If the locate is not done entirely by the start date and time you can call in a no show, and they have 2 hours to come and locate. Any time you call back to your one call center be sure to have you dig number on hand. If you hit anything be sure to have your dig number on hand. And my advice is take pictures of where you and digging and where the marks are. In IL they have 18in on each side of the mark. But be sure you have pictures of the marks. Hope this helps

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
