Your MISS DIG System ticket

Once your project information is received by the MISS DIG System, it is given a ticket number. At the end of your conversation, the MISS DIG System operator will give you that ticket number. Please keep your ticket number, in case you need to refer to it in the future.

The MISS DIG System member utilities (or their contractors) mark the approximate location of their underground public utility facilities with flags, paint or both using the Utility Color Code colors. MISS DIG DOES NOT MARK.

IF YOU CANNOT MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 10 FOOT CLEARANCE FROM ANY OVERHEAD ELECTRIC LINES WITH THE EQUIPMENT YOU WILL BE USING ON THE JOB, PLEASE LET THE MISS DIG OPERATOR KNOW. MISS DIG CAN REQUEST AN OVERHEAD ASSISTANCE APPOINTMENT FOR YOU WITH YOUR ELECTRIC COMPANY.
(Appointments must be scheduled between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.)
