Labeling Pipe crossings in Plan view

Hello everyone,
I am trying to figure out how to label pipe crossings in plan view. For example it is my companies standard practice to label all crossings of Storm and Water. The text usually reads as follows: IE 12" SD=XXX.XX
Is this possible in civil 3d 2012? I have 2 seperate pipe networks (of course =) ). Is there a specific label component I'm just not seeing?
Please help...I need as much as I can get?

Hi Matt-
After looking into this I had initially thought using a Reference Text component may be able to be used, but it doesn't look like that is the case. Unfortunately I am not sure if this is possible, especially with two separate networks. Any one else out there require such a label, and if so, what methods are you using??

This is the best work around I have found. Certainly this is something one would expect to see in civil design / sheet generation program, but............
