In March, 2011, River City Consultants, Inc. acquired the business of American Utility Specialist, Inc. (AUS) from Cliff Schroder.  Cliff has been providing utility locating services for construction and engineering projects in western Colorado for 24 years and enjoys a superior reputation for reliable utility locates.  Clients will experience business as usual with AUS, with no change in the timely response and accurate locates that they have come to expect.  As an employee of River City Consultants, Cliff continues to have responsibility for the field operations of AUS and do the bulk of the local locates.
