Call JULIE before Digging

To avoid damaging lines, state law requires you to call JULIE before any digging project, regardless of the project size or depth. Just call a helpful call center operator at JULIE, 8-1-1 or (800) 892-0123, and they'll alert their member utility companies of your plans to dig so they can come out and mark their underground lines at your site.
 
If no call is made prior to digging, the person or firm doing the excavating work will be held liable for repair costs. Do not dig on the marked line(s) or within 18 inches of either side of these marks.
 
JULIE, Inc. is a not-for-profit message handling service for homeowners and contractors. JULIE operators are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The call is free and so are the services. JULIE neither owns nor marks any underground facilities.
