311...oh boy!

Sacramento is now super cool with a "311" number.  What can you do with this number? Just about everything!  Have a junker parked next door? Call 311! Have a clogged sewer line? Call 311!  Need to talk to someone about your water sewer and garbage bill? Call 311!  There is way more to it and I have just mentioned the tip of the iceberg.  It eliminates the need to look up individual phone numbers for each of these departments. 

The other day I was driving down Riverside Blvd when I noticed water seeping out of some small hole covers in the middle of the street in about 3 places.  I had to call 411 to get the number for the city maintenance (at a cost of $1.75 on my cell phone).  Then they had to transfer me to the right person.  Now, with this new service, it will be a simple as 311!! No difficult number to rememeber or having to keep a reference card in my car to know what number to call.

See? We aren't such a cowtown afterall!....or does my making a big deal of this confirm that we are a cowtown? Oh well!

Hey Paula,

That's a great idea!  In regards to the junk car next door...in our area the neighborhood association would be all over that.  They sometimes will even put a lien against a property owner who doesn't clean up his or her mess.  Usually this happens after the association has had to bring in a contractor to do the work.

We have a few communities like yours...won't even let the car be parked outside the garage for over a few hours (a little radical in my thinkging).  However, most of the neighborhoods closer to downtown were built in the 20's - 40's, so a little late to control anything!
