# Positive response

Positive Response is the OHIO811 system that keeps utility owners and excavators in touch about each ticket so both sides know the status of a locate request.

OHIO811 says Positive Response ensures a continuous communication loop between the utility owner or operator and the excavator for OHIO811 tickets and excavation notifications. It lets the excavator check a response, and lets a utility post one. An account is needed to post.

OHIO811 tells people with questions about a response from a registered utility to contact it right away with their reference number. A response relates to registered utilities. It does not cover private lines. See [private utility line](https://cincystump.multisites.ai/glossary/private-utility-line) and [locate ticket](https://cincystump.multisites.ai/glossary/locate-ticket). The system lives under [OHIO811](https://cincystump.multisites.ai/glossary/ohio811); Kentucky has its own service, Kentucky 811.
