What is a positive response?



Positive response is a closing of the communication loop. It allows each facility owner to communicate to the excavator the status of their one call ticket.


What if a facility owner owns multiple facility types?



Some members have multiple utilities under one member code. To properly respond to positive response, we have devised a solution that would allow a member to respond for each of their utilities. Click here for more information.
