     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO filed on June 30, 2000 relating to the offer by InfrastruX
Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of InfrastruX Group, Inc. ("Parent"), a Washington Corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Puget Sound Energy, Inc., to purchase all outstanding
shares of common stock (the "Shares") of UTILX Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), at a price of $6.125 per share, net to the seller
in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase dated June 30, 2000, and in the related Letter of
Transmittal, copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) to the
Schedule TO (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto,
collectively constitute the "Offer"). The information set forth in the Offer to
Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated by reference with
respect to Items 1-9, 11 and 12 of the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used and
not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Schedule TO.

     ITEMS 1-9, 11 AND 12.

     Items 1 through 9, 11 and 12 of the Schedule TO, which incorporate by
reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended
as follows:

     (1)  The second sentence of the last paragraph on page ii of the Summary
Term Sheet has been revised to read as follows:

     "You can call MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at (800) 322-2885 (toll free)."

     (2)  The fifth paragraph on page 3 of the Offer to Purchase has been
revised so that the following language is inserted immediately prior to the last
sentence of that paragraph:

     "A subsequent offering period, if one is included, is not an extension of
the Offer. A subsequent offering period would be an additional period of time,
following the expiration of the Offer, in which stockholders may tender Shares
not tendered into the Offer. In the event that Purchaser includes a subsequent
offering period, Purchaser must accept and promptly pay for all securities
tendered prior to the date of such extension and must otherwise meet the
requirements of Rule 14d-11 in connection with such extension.  Pursuant to Rule
14d-7 under the Exchange Act, no withdrawal rights will apply to Shares tendered
into a subsequent offering period and no withdrawal rights apply during the
subsequent offering period with respect to Shares tendered in the Offer and
accepted for payment. The same consideration, the Offer Price, will be paid to
stockholders tendering Shares in the Offer or in a subsequent offering period,
if one is included."

     (3)  The last sentence of the paragraph that begins "Projected information
of this type is based on estimates and assumptions..." on page 13 of the Offer
to Purchase has been revised to read as follows:

     "NONE OF PARENT, PURCHASER, ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR ANY
OTHER PARTY ASSUMES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR VALIDITY OF THE
FOREGOING PROJECTIONS."

     (4)  The first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 15 of the Offer to
Purchase has been revised to read as follows:

     "The Merger Agreement provides that the foregoing conditions are for the
sole benefit of Parent, Purchaser and their affiliates and may be asserted by
Parent or Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such
condition, or may be waived by Parent or Purchaser in whole or in part at any
time prior to the expiration of the Offer in the sole discretion of Parent or
Purchaser."
