Each JULIE member company designates one person to be the coordinator. This person serves as the main contact between their organization and JULIE. 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.
The staff at JULIE can help you communicate the importance of safe digging. View our Communication Support Materials Toolkit for helpful items such as logos, scripts, and public relation materials.
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. 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.
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 maintaining of waterways can create safety hazards due to the various types of excavations. Take care in farming, plowing, installing field tile and excavating.
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.
