Eleven California counties, including several in the North Bay, will get a second area code next year as the longtime 707 area code runs low on numbers, utility officials said.

According to the California Public Utilities Commission, the new 369 area code will be added as an overlay to areas served by 707 on February 1, 2023. After that date, customers requesting new service or an additional line may get a number with the new area code.

Covering much of the North Bay and a wide swath of the Northern California coast, the 707 serves all or parts of Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, Sonoma, Tehama, and Trinity counties.
