Darwin Community Services District

SMS Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 11, 2026

Program Description

The Darwin Community Services District Water Volume Notification program sends text messages to authorized personnel of Darwin Community Services District ("DCSD") — specifically board members, district volunteers, and system operators — who have enrolled to receive them. Messages contain water volume information for the district's water system, such as periodic readings and volume-related operational updates.

This program is not currently open to district water customers. Enrollment is limited to individuals serving the district in one of the roles listed above.

This program is informational only. It is not an emergency notification service. DCSD does not use this program to send emergency alerts, outage notices, or boil water advisories. Do not rely on text messages for emergency information.

This program is operated by DCSD for its own personnel. We do not send marketing or promotional messages, and we do not send messages on behalf of any third party.

How to Opt In

You are enrolled only if you provide your mobile number to DCSD and affirmatively agree to receive text messages. You may enroll by completing the DCSD Water Volume Notification signup form linked from our Text Alerts page, which requires you to check a consent box before submitting.

Consent to receive text messages is voluntary. It is not a condition of board membership, of volunteering with the district, of employment, or of holding any district role, and declining carries no consequence.

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies. You can expect to receive approximately 1 to 4 messages per month, depending on system operations.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply. DCSD does not charge for this service, but your mobile carrier may charge for messages you send or receive. Contact your carrier for details about your plan.

How to Opt Out

You can cancel at any time. Reply STOP to any message from this program. You will receive a single confirmation message, and you will not receive further messages unless you re-enroll.

To re-enroll, reply START or complete the signup form again.

Supported Carriers

This program is supported by major U.S. carriers, including AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and their affiliated brands. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Delivery and Availability

Message delivery depends on your carrier's network and is not guaranteed. DCSD is not responsible for messages that are delayed, undelivered, or received in error. Because delivery cannot be guaranteed, this program must not be relied upon for time-sensitive or emergency information.

Privacy

Your mobile number and consent record are handled as described in our Privacy Policy. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with the "Last updated" date above.
