Keep a track record of your down time When you hit a line that was marked incorrectly, USIC will send out an investigator. Working too close together causes confusion. Let s verify who we are by possibly using car magnets or some other type of verification to tell who s who. The APP will show you who is out there working & what they are doing. Or get the ticket #, call it in & find out who is working near you. Homeowners what are some of the things you ve seen them do that will get them into trouble? Putting up their own fences. Landscaping Let s try to figure out a way to resolve our issues regarding locates, down time & cut lines instead of just talking about it.
