To our valued members: As we are all well aware, peak digging season will shortly be upon us. As One Call locate requests rise with every passing year, accurate and efficient transfer of information between One Call and locators is becoming more important than ever. The One Call center uses the most advanced mapping and ticket transmission software available to us and is continuously working with our software provider, TelDig, to improve our service to you. In order to maintain the highest level of quality possible, new innovations must always be sought and improvements made.

The Ontario 2 format is also acceptable for the current upgrade, but may not be a sufficient configuration for future updates. The One Call IT Department is available to answer any questions or concerns you may have along the way and can be reached at 519-767-4330. Ontario One Call |
