Utilities Department (Water & Wastewater)

Call Before You Dig!

May contain: logo

Planting, trenching or digging?  Please call before you dig!  Buried utility lines may be located anywhere on your property and if you have a project of any size that requires digging, California law requires that a call first be made to 811.  When you call 811 at least two days before digging, a professional will mark your underground utility lines – including water, electric and gas – with color coded markings to help keep you safe. The service is free of charge and is available for both homeowners and construction contractors. For more information, go to California North 811.
