Iowa's "one-call" law requires anyone
digging or excavating to call 800-292-8989
or 811
first to see if there are any underground
electric lines or cables. Exceptions include
farmers who are conducting normal operations
(unless they expect to dig deeper than 15
inches) and gardeners who work the same plot
year after year.
Any utility or organization that has
underground lines is required to mark those
lines within 48 hours of the call.
The 1993 law assures safety for anyone
digging, and saves the cost of repairing
lines that are accidentally damaged.
Please note: We will NOT mark
underground lines on the member's side of
the meter through an Iowa One Call request.
We will, however, locate member's
underground secondary lines at a charge of
$45.00 per hour.
