JULIE | Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators (JULIE)

Ensures that underground utilities remain undamaged by construction in the area. This ensures the safety of people working or living near these utilities.

Utility facilities should be marked between the confirmation of services and dig start time. Each utility company will either mark the location of their facilities with paint and/or flags, or let you know that their lines are not in conflict with the area in which you are planning to dig. The property must be accessible to avoid delays.

Illinois state law requires that anyone planning an outdoor project that requires digging, regardless of the depth or the size of the project, must notify JULIE first.
