Pond construction this year? Call
811, the hotline for JULIE (Joint
Utility Locating Information for Excavators). Call no more than two weeks,
but at least 48 hours, before you begin digging (not including weekends and holidays).
Utilities will then mark their underground pipes, wires and cables with stakes,
flags or paint.
