The Inland Empire Utility Coordination Council, Inc. (IEUCC) started at the Inland NW Associated General Contractors office in the 1960s. 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 owner and 150 contractor members, with a board made up of both utility and contractor representatives. The members all work together on the three Cs 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 annual membership dues. The council also provides “Call Before You Dig” information upon request. The council meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. Locations are announced by email prior to each meeting.
