Always call 811 before you start any digging project! Property owners are required to have underground utilities located before doing any digging. The service is free and simple.

You should call 811 before beginning any project, from small projects like planting trees and shrubs to large projects, including swimming pool installation or sidewalk or driveway installation or repairs.

Call 811 a few days prior to digging, tell the operator where you're planning to dig, what type of work you will be doing, and your affected local utilities. The City of Folsom and other utility companies will be notified about your intent to dig. Within a few days, a locator will mark the approximate location of your underground lines, pipes, and cables. This will ensure that you will know what's below, and you can dig safely.
