Call JULIE prior to digging to avoid injury, liability

Hitting underground utilities during digging can result in severe consequences.  JULIE is the one-call center to reach when preparing to do any excavating.  They work with utility companies to determine where to avoid digging.  Roger Watwood, JULIE Southern Illinois Damage Prevention Manager, tells Brownfield JULIE can be contacted with no cost to the person doing the digging.  And with that call, a person can, at the very least, avoid being hit with the high costs of repairing damaged lines.  Worse is the possibility of injury resulting from striking underground gas or electric transmission lines.
