Ohio Utilities Protective Services (OUPS) has made some Law Changes.
Instead of a 48-hour window when you enter in a ticket, it is 2 working days EXCLUDING the day of the notice.
Before it was you start to dig within 10 working days of the notice, (working days exclude weekends & legal holidays) NOW it is 16 CALENDAR days of the 811 notices that you have to dig before you have to put in a new ticket. That also means MARKING FLAGS must stay out for at least those 16 calendar days.
ANY damage MUST be reported to OHIO811.
REMEMBER IT IS THE LAW to call 811 before doing any sort of digging on your property
