ILLINOIS

JULIE, Inc. (JULIE) is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to keeping Illinois safe and connected. JULIE stands for Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators... In the early 1970s, four major Illinois utility companies realized that when burying their own facilities, they were inadvertently damaging the lines of other companies. In August 1974, Illinois Bell Telephone, Natural Gas Pipeline, Northern Illinois Gas and Commonwealth Edison founded JULIE as a means of preventing injuries and reducing damages to underground facilities. JULIE began operations in Will County and expanded its coverage in December 1980 to include all of Illinois with the exception of the City of Chicago. In1992, we built our state-of-the-art facility at our current location serving as a model for similar organizations across the nation... JULIE is a free service for professional excavators and homeowners to contact JULIE before you dig to request the locating and marking of underground utilities.
