In the event of a utility leak or emergency Call 911 IMMEDIATELY!

 

CALL IOWA ONE CALL OR CITY HALL BEFORE YOU DIG! 

IT'S FREE AND IT IS THE LAW

Many utilities including city owned are buried throughout the city!  DO NOT DIG ANYWHERE ON OR OFF YOUR LOT WITHOUT HAVING A LOCATE ON BURIED UTILITIES DONE! Any damaged or interrupted service caused by unauthorized digging will result in you paying for all the damages and labor, and a possible fine! 

Not to mention you could be injured or killed!  

 

CONSERVE ENERGY!  

By conserving energy, you lower your bill along with the city's.  Here are some tips!

  • Keep your thermostat at a comfortable level, around 68.  You can always put more clothes on.

  • Turn off the lights in rooms you are not in. 

  • Set your water heater to WARM, and put it on "vacation" mode when you are gone for an extended period.

  • Install energy efficient appliances.

  • Check your stools, faucets, tubs and showers for leaks. (free leak detectors are at city hall) 

  • Install low flow stools. 

CONTACT CITY HALL OR YOUR PLUMBER FOR MORE TIPS!
