What is PALMETTO UTILITY PROTECTION SERVICE, INC?

PALMETTO UTILITY PROTECTION SERVICE, INC. (P.U.P.S.) is a corporation formed and funded by participating utility companies and municipalities in the interest of community and job safety and improved service through damage reduction to the utilities.
P.U.P.S. is a computerized notification center which establishes a computer link between those who dig underground (excavation) and those who operate underground facilities (operators)
All messages to and from P.U.P.S. are recorded. This is for the protection of both excavators and operators.
Within minutes of your call, the participating members will be made aware of your plans and will be given pertinent information that has been provided by you about your planned work.
You will be told the names of the participating members from whom you can expect a response - if there are buried facilities in the path of your activity, the route of the utilities will be staked and/or marked at no expense to you.
