EXCAVATORS MUST CALL IN THEIR OWN REQUESTS
"Call Before You Dig" does not mean letting someone else make the call to JULIE. According to state law, the person actually doing the digging (excavator) is required to call JULIE with locate request information.

JULIE policy states, "utility locate requests, including those from homeowners, will only be accepted from the excavator or a personal representative/employee of the company engaging in the excavation activity."  It is recognized, in rare cases, that the homeowner may be a better source of locate information and thus will be allowed to serve as an agent of the contractor--the homeowner must provide the name of the contracted company doing the actual digging and a phone number.  The ticket is also required to grid by their address information.
