Before you dig

• IL — JULIE (Chicago has its own — call DIGGER) needs 2 working days notice.Two to ten days — and the Act defines a day as excluding weekends, JULIE holidays, and the day you actually gave notice. Two days means two working days after today.The figure people quote for Illinois is often 48 hours with a 14-day maximum. That is the pre-2025 text, and in the permissive direction — it would have you digging early. It is also easy to read 'not less than 2 days' as two calendar days, which is wrong by a whole weekend: the definitions section at 220 ILCS 50/2 excludes Saturdays, Sundays, JULIE holidays and the day of notice. Chicago runs its own centre.220 ILCS 50/4(d), with 'day' defined at 220 ILCS 50/2
• IN — Indiana 811 needs 2 working days notice, tolerance 24" each side.Ticket good 20 calendar days from when the centre receives your notice.Two full working days. You may start at 7 a.m. on the next working day after those two have elapsed. Max ten calendar days.24 inches added to the facility's width — a full radius, including below it.The ticket dies at 11:59 p.m. on day 20.IC 8-1-26, §§8-1-26-11.4, 8-1-26-16 (amended effective 2025-01-01)

Check the ticket yourself before the first bore. This is a starting point, not legal advice, and the clock does not always start when you call.

Scope

Buried drops in established neighborhoods, heavy clay through most of it. Restoration and seed included in the rate. Locates called by the prime with a 72-hour lead. Homeowner complaints come back to your crew.
