Inland Empire Utility Coordinating Council - IEUCC

Inland Empire Utility Coordinating Council - IEUCC The IEUCC's major task is to fund the utility notification call center for this area and provide call before you dig information upon request.

The Inland Empire Utility Coordination Council, Inc. (IEUCC) started at the Inland NW Associated General Contractors office in the 1960’s. At the time a utility contractor wanted to coordinate the installation of a very large underground project with all involved utilities. The council started with a small group of utilities and contractors. It has grown to approximately 110 underground facility o

wners and 150 contractor members. The board is made up of both utility and contractor representatives. The members all work together on the three C’s of the Call Before You Dig message:Communication, Coordination and Cooperation. The IEUCC became a not for profit corporation in 1990. Its major task is to fund the utility notification call center for this area through members’ annual dues and non member notification fees. The council also provides call before you dig information upon request. They meet monthly on the second Tuesday, at 11:30am at Sweet Ole Bob’s Café.

⚠️ Step one in safe digging? Mark where you plan to dig. Sounds simple, but it’s one of the most overlooked safety steps.

When your dig site is clearly marked, utility locators know exactly where to place their marks, making the process smoother and more accurate.

Use white spray paint or flags to outline your work area. This is called “white lining,” and it is a safe digging best practice.

Did you know? Some utility lines on your property aren’t marked through 811.

Sprinkler systems, private septic systems, or the line from your house to a detached garage are considered private utilities, and they won’t be included in a standard 811 locate.

To map those lines, you’ll need to hire a private utility locator. It’s a smart step toward building a complete picture of what’s underground and digging more safely.

Still unsure which utilities are covered by your locate request? Contact 811 and our CSRs can walk you through it or learn more on our website.
