2,000 Strong…And Growing

For more than 50 years, JULIE members have remained committed to responsible excavation and protecting the citizens of Illinois.

If member facility owners or operators cannot respond to a locate request within 2 days because conditions are defined as beyond reasonable control (BRC), they may request additional time.

Have a single excavation that exceeds the expiration date of a normal notice request? Or a series of repetitive, related-scope excavations? Follow the Large Project process, which includes holding a Joint Meet.

Starting January 1, 2026, all new and replaced service laterals must be locatable. Learn what this means for your utility and how JULIE can help you stay compliant and protect underground infrastructure.

Forging A Legacy Of Safe Digging…Together

Our members have shaped the JULIE legacy and are the driving force behind innovations to our operations. From the days of phone calls then faxes to today’s fast-paced digital environment, we’re evolving with your input to create the most efficient notification service to prevent underground utility damages. This includes revisions to safe digging legislation.
