In addition to the normal message transmission to your receiver site, you can elect to receive a BACKUP MESSAGE for Emergency or Dig-up notifications.
EMERGENCY: When the caller states that the work to be performed is of an emergency nature.
PLEASE NOTE: Each additional message is currently billed at $1.30 per notification. There will be charges for multiple notifications across districts.
We will follow up on all emergencies due for work being done within two (2) business hours with an additional automated message (in addition to the actual copy of the ticket) using one of the following methods below:

An automated call will be made to the primary or alternate contact number provided. These numbers must be to a phone number that is answered promptly by an individual who is familiar with the process. Members can choose to use a PIN or not use a PIN for access to the locate information (but use of a PIN must be requested on the attached form). Once a call is answered, the individual will be prompted to press 1 or enter the PIN (if one is assigned). The ticket information will be available once the individual enters the correct response. After collecting the appropriate information, the individual is prompted to confirm receipt of the message so that no further attempts are made for the current ticket. If no contact is made at the primary number, an automated call to the alternate contact number will occur after 5 minutes. After several failed automated call attempts, a live operator will intervene to complete the call process.
Sample automated call:
“Please enter your North Dakota One Call pin number.” or “Please press 1 to continue.”
User enters correct pin number or presses 1
“Ticket 8551111.”
“Press 9 at any time to accept this ticket. Otherwise press 1 to repeat the ticket number, 2 for start time, 3 for contact information, 4 for location of work, 5 for marking instructions, 6 for ticket comments or press 8 for all ticket information.”
User enters 9: “Accepted”
“If you have any questions, please contact North Dakota One Call at 800-795-0555. Thank you.”
