Frequently Asked Questions
Underground Utilities
In 1988, the Louisiana Damage Prevention Law became effective. This law requires excavators
and demolishers to call a regional notification center at least 48 hours before they begin
their work. It also requires owner/operators of underground facilities to mark locations or
supply information that will enable excavators and demolishers to locate underground utilities
and facilities. At the time the law passed, a non-profit notification program called DOTTIE
(Dial One Time To Inform Everyone) had already been at work protecting vital underground facilities
for more than a decade. Today that program is known as Louisiana One Call. Louisiana State
Police has the capability to enforce this law and issue civil penalties to anyone who does
not abide by this law.
