April is Safe Digging Month across Illinois, and Marianne Manko with the Illinois Commerce Commission says there’s a simple way to prevent serious accidents while digging in the state.
Manko says the JULIE system will map out any underground lines around your dig site with two days notice.
Manko says the one phone call to JULIE could prevent an accident that could possibly turn fatal.
Manko says every nine minutes, someone unintentionally hits an underground utility line, many times because they did not have those lines marked before they put the shovel in the ground.
