Dear Flood Control Program Stakeholder:

If you are receiving this message you are subscribed to the Texas State 
Soil and Water Conservation Board's (TSSWCB) Flood Control Programs 
mailing list.  This was setup to allow us the ability to provide 
interested parties with updates on program news, rules, guidance, and 
documents.

_*This is a reminder that some maintenance or repair activities may 
require notification of utilities prior to excavation.*_

According to state law, with some exceptions, excavators planning to dig 
16 inches or deeper using mechanical equipment are required to call the 
statewide number (800-545-6005) or contact one of the Notification 
Centers directly via phone, fax, or electronically no sooner than 14 
days nor less than 2 working days (48 hours excluding weekends, 
holidays, etc.) before they intend to begin excavating. The excavator 
only needs to call one of the Notification Centers. That center will 
relay the information to the other two centers and all three will notify 
their member utility companies.

This does not include water, wastewater, and sewer lines. In urban 
areas, these utilities may require separate notification.

Information on the One-call Board of Texas can be found here:
