    How about saying how many you have to locate day in day out, every ticket?

    I locate gas, electric, h2o, sewer, and fiber. Now if we want to talk occasionally, on all of our facilities we locate everything you can imagine.

    Besides, what can't fall into those 7 catagories?

    Control cables are telecommunication, storm sewer is still a sewer pipe, antifreeze and other liquid lines are still in H2o pipes. OK maybe I should have added Petrolium lines, but how many locates do you guys get where some other company doesn't locate some of the lines?

    Maybe SUE should be in a different catagory. Do you have a contract for a day in day out service?

    Maybe that's been answered somewhere else, but i'm a newb on the vine. I haven't had the opportunity to hear what's goin on here for the last few years.

    My area is a 4-way on every ticket (AT&T, elec, gas & 1 of 2 CATV companies) and I have pockets of 8-way (additional sewer, water, city owned street lights & a city fiber line).
