That won't work in IL

It reads (per »www.illinois1call.com/law_enforc···_2.9._):

"Provide notice not less than 48 hours but no more than 14 calendar days in advance of the start of the excavation or demolition to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area through the State‑Wide One‑Call Notice System"

Which means that the excvator must give at least 2 day notice and work must begin within 14 days. Which means you can't call today and do the work in 3 months.

So again, it's basically two working days.

Safe digging starts when you contact JULIE. According to state law, the person actually doing the digging is required to call JULIE with the locate request information at least 48 hours (two working days, excludes weekends and holidays) in advance of the start of excavation. You will be provided with a "dig number" for your records. You must begin your project within 14 days from the time you call and if you want to start your project over the weekend, remember to contact JULIE, Inc. by Wednesday at 4 p.m.

In order to help the utility locator properly identify your project area, JULIE recommends that you mark the area where you will be digging with white paint and/or flags.
