Do not attempt to remove a fallen tree from a power line, call CVEA at 822-3211 or 835-4301 to have the tree removed.
Cable Locating - Call Before You Dig

Please Read Before You Dig

This drawing is an example of utility facility markings that may be
located on or near your property. At some locations the "locate marks" may
be side-by-side for cablevision (purple),
electric (red), and telephone (orange).
Before you begin digging, please walk your property to ensure you are
aware of all the underground utility locations.
If you do not find locate marks for one or more of the utilities, please
contact that office before you begin digging. All of your local utilities
wish to provide the best service possible; however, crews may have been
called away before your locate was completed. To ensure your safety,
please call if you don't see the appropriate color locate markings.
Be sure to notify the utilities before you begin digging! Hand dig within
two feet of any locate marks!
NOTICE: Any damage done to City,
electric, telephone, or television underground facilities is the
responsibility of the person or company doing the excavation work.
