WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE MAP IN TICKET ENTRY?
Its purpose is to determine which member facility operators will receive your notice. The members maintain a polygon database of
the general area of their facilities and when your dig site (blue polygon) overlaps member polygon(s), the member will be notified on
the request. Not selecting or incorrectly selecting a dig site may result in one or more facility operators not being notified.
WHAT IF I NEED TO DRAW A DIGSITE IN AN AREA THAT DOES NOT YET SHOW STREETS/PARCELS IN THE MAP?
Make a note in the In-House Comments field stating the area is newly under construction and not able to be mapped because the
streets/parcels are not yet in the map. However, if you are able to determine the digsite using existing streets/parcels, please make a note in the In-House Comments describing how the digsite area was selected.
