Utility Locate Fees: A Solution to Over Notification or a Safety Risk?

July 13th, 2023 || 10:30 AM CDT


The proposition of charging for utility locate services is a topic stirring debate in the damage prevention industry. Introduced as a possible strategy to reduce late locates and backlog issues, this potential shift in practice could greatly impact the process. This discussion is not just about operational efficiency, but also safety and fairness. Join us in this Town Hall as we delve into the complexities of this pressing issue.

These Town Hall meetings have been great! I am pretty sure I have never seen less than 100 people on any of these calls. People from all walks of life tied to Damage Prevention are on these calls and there are always good collaboration going on! Personally, I have picked up a good idea from every town hall meeting. 😉
