DigAlert Reminder

Do you know why DigAlert tells you who they are going to notify as part of obtaining a ticket number? When DigAlert is called they tell you who they will be notifying, or if done online they send you a list of the parties. The reason for telling us the list is we as Stratus need to VERIFY we have positive clearance or a conflict. Positive clearance is an email, a phone call, a “No XX” painted at the border of your white markings, or a utility marking in our area, from every party they tell us. One Call Law puts the responsibility on us to make sure we have something from every person they will be notifying. If the marking utility company guy is on vacation and didn’t mark, this doesn’t absolve us of the liability for any damage or injury. Keep this in mind and cross check your list to your paint markings, phone calls, and emails before you open a hole.
