JULIE Member Coordinator
Each JULIE member company designates one person to be the coordinator. This person serves as the main contact between their organization and JULIE, Inc. An important responsibility of the coordinator is reading/distributing JULIE correspondence to the appropriate people/departments. JULIE has assembled valuable resources for the coordinator to assist them in their role.

Safe Digging Communications
Damage to underground utility lines can result in interruptions to critical services like electricity, natural gas, water, phone, cable TV, Internet, and fiber optics…all of which are crucial to your community running smoothly. More importantly, striking an underground utility line can cause serious physical harm, as well. Partner with JULIE to promote the safe digging message to your residents with this convenient toolkit designed specifically for Illinois cities, villages, counties, municipalities, and townships. The elements in this toolkit have been selected with input from several officials and are ready to use so you can easily incorporate them into any of your communications programs.
811 Agriculture Safety
No one digs more dirt than American farmers. Understanding what is below ground will help you dig safely above ground. Excavation projects such as terracing, fence post installation, tiling, subsoiling, and building and maintenance of waterways can create safety hazards due to the various types of excavations. Take care in farming, plowing, installing field tile and excavating. We have put together several materials that target the agriculture community.
Online Flag Messaging Toolkit
To promote damage prevention, JULIE has created a NEW educational initiative for our member utilities. Using this toolkit, learn how a simple change to your utility marking flag design can educate the public on the importance of safe digging.
