Utility Hotline connects you with private utility locating companies across Knox County, Illinois. From Galesburg, Abingdon, Knoxville, Wataga and East Galesburg, requests are accepted across 15 communities in the county — for finding and marking the buried lines a one-call ticket does not reach, on the owner's side of the meter.

Before any excavation in Knox County, Illinois law requires contacting JULIE (Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators) (811), which brings out the member facility owners to mark the lines they own. That notification is free and it stops at the meter or the right-of-way. Private locating covers what sits past it, using an electromagnetic locator on anything conductive and ground penetrating radar on the plastic, clay, and concrete that carries no signal.

Knox County's construction activity drives steady demand for private locating, ground penetrating radar, line marking, and utility mapping. Request a quote and our team reviews it before routing it to locating companies covering your job site.

Yes. Illinois requires contacting JULIE (Joint Utility Locating Information for Excavators) (811) before excavation, and that notification is free. It brings out the member facility owners to mark the lines they own, normally stopping at the meter or the right-of-way. A private locate covers everything past that boundary, which on private property is usually most of what is in the ground.

Companies covering Knox County handle private utility locating past the meter, ground penetrating radar for plastic pipe, tanks, and voids, APWA color-coded line marking, utility mapping delivered as CAD or GIS, subsurface utility engineering to ASCE 38 quality levels, acoustic leak detection, concrete scanning before coring or cutting, and vacuum potholing to expose a line and measure its true depth. Not every company carries every instrument, so say what you need found.
