Call 811 Before you Dig

Whether you're breaking ground or just installing a new sprinkler system, avoid personal injury and underground line damage by calling before you dig. DigAlertis maintained by Underground Service Alert of Southern California (USA).

Both contractors and homeowners are required by law to either contact DigAlert online or by calling 811 at least two days before digging.

DigAlert will notify local utility companies, including the Carpinteria Valley Water District. Utility employees will then come to your site and mark the underground lines or give the okay to dig.

Remember: We only mark water lines owned and maintained by the District. Sanitary, telephone, communications, gas and electric underground lines must be located and marked by their respective utilities.
