South Carolina law requires a 72 hour notice (three working days) before you excavate. Why? In order to reduce and/or prevent dig-ins. A dig-in can cause death or injury, damage to public or private property, and loss or interruption of services.

Having lines located before you dig can save you:
• Costly repairs to damaged pipes, lines, etc.
• Delays in construction
• Wasted crew time
• Personal injury or property damage

Edisto Electric Cooperative has employees available to locate underground lines.
The phone number to call is 1-800-433-3292. 

You will be required to provide the following information:
• Telephone number
• Name of caller
• County and city
• Address or job location
• Start date and time
• Type of work
• Contractor
• Contractor Address
