The MISS DIG System processes calls from persons planning to dig and informs its member utilities of these excavation plans. The member utilities then mark their underground public utility facilities. The MISS DIG System promotes safety on the job site, assists the utilities in providing safe and efficient service to millions of customers, preserves the environment, thereby ensuring quality of life for all Michigan residents.
