Abstract: The concept of having a single entity perform the locating and markout functions for several utilities was first suggested at The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) in November of 1982. CL&P is an operating company of Northeast Utilities which provides service to approximately 1,000,000 electric and 162,000 gas customers in the State of Connecticut. At CL&P, as with most utilities, both the Gas and Electric Departments were being faced with an ever-increasing burden of locating and marking our underground facilities in response to requests received from the Connecticut One- Call System (Call Before You Dig). It seemed obvious that a joint venture with other interested utilities could result in significant cost savings for the participants. For this reason, in February 1983, representatives of CL&P Gas and Electric Departments solicited interest from a number of other neighboring utilities. While several of these utilities indicated some interest in the concept, only two -Southern New England Telephone Company (SNETCO) and AT&T Communications (AT&T)-indicated a willingness to explore the possibilities further.
