"Ita™s rewarding to have good employees who take pride in their work and are always willing to go the extra mile. I am very proud of my crew and the job they do every day."

The Miss Utility of Delmarva recognition is given to those companies and their employees who have a perfect record of marking utility lines in advance of digging. When a Miss Utility ticket is received by the company, a T&D Utility person is dispatched to the site with a GIS-generated map and a locator. When a valve, main or fire hydrant is found, the employee uses the locator to trace and mark the line so that there is no mistake where the water line is located before work proceeds at the site.

Charlie Foster, Supervisor of Transmission & Distribution, said aIta™s rewarding to have good employees who take pride in their work and are always willing to go the extra mile. I am very proud of my crew and the job they do every day.a

This was the second year in a row for John DiMaio to be recognized by Miss Utility.
