Presidents Day to be observed February 20

Plan ahead: February 20, 2012 will not count as a working day

The next legal holiday that affects start dates is Presidents Day, February 20, 2012. As a result, February 20 will not count towards the three working days needed between calling Diggers Hotline and starting your excavation.

After Presidents Day, the next legal holiday that affects start dates will be Good Friday, April 6, 2012.

Diggers Hotline is bound by state statute to recognize the legal holidays in Wisconsin. It is not our decision which holidays to recognize or when to recognize them. For a list of legal holidays in Wisconsin, click here.

Diggers Hotline is Wisconsin's one-call center. Anyone in the state who is digging, excavating or disturbing the soil is required by law to contact Diggers Hotline at least three working days before beginning work.
