Abstract: In 1969 Consumers Power Company witnessed underground damages which numbered 6.000. They realized thai in a rapidly expanding geographical area something other than repairs to the system had to be done. In southeastern Michigan there are four major utilities, namely. Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. Detroit Edison (electric), Michigan Bell Telephone Company and Consumers Power Company (gas). All four utilities had one common denominator: underground facility damages from outside contractors. We all recognized that progress in the form of road pavement projects, sanitary and storm sewer enlargements, and water main extensions into semiurban areas, must be dealt with, in southeastern Michigan there are over 2,000 excavating contractors who assist in constructing the progress that causes utilities, who have facilities underground, nightmares. Miss Dig is a communications method by which excavating contractors, with one telephone call, can be assured of having underground utilities located prior to excavation.
