What Our Clients Say

Have Questions?

We’ve Got the Answers


  • What is a private utility locate?

    A private utility locate identifies underground utilities on private property—lines not covered by public 811 services—to prevent damage during digging or construction.

  • Why should I call APUL if I already contacted 811?

    811 covers public utilities only. APUL locates private lines like electric feeds, water, sewer, gas, and communication lines after your 811 ticket is complete.

  • How far in advance should I schedule a locate?

    We recommend booking at least 48–72 hours before you dig to ensure availability and thorough service.

  • What areas do you serve?

    APUL proudly serves California’s Central Coast, including Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara Counties.

  • What types of projects do you handle?

    We work with homeowners, contractors, and municipalities on projects ranging from small landscaping digs to major infrastructure and development sites.
