| There is an Indiana state law which requires someone to report any
type of digging to the IUPPS at least two full business days before the
labor takes place. The Indiana Underground Plant Protection Service (IUPPS),
sometimes referred to as Holey Moley, is a free, non-profit statewide notification
service that insures that the proper utilities are notified before the
digging takes place. The appropriate utilities will be notified and they
are required, by law, to locate any utility that might be in the ground
in your area of which the digging will take place. Utilities locate according
to color codes. Telecommunications, for example is marked in orange. 100%
of Geetingsville Telephone Company's telephone cable is buried underground,
making it very important for us to be notified of any local digging. To
find out more or to contact the IUPPS, call 1-800-382-5544 or try going

Besides being the law, we appreciate a call!!! |
