If you are planning on digging, even an inch into the soil, you will need to call Iowa One Call at least two business days prior to digging at 1-800-292-8989 or dial 8-1-1.

Once your call is placed, Iowa One Call sends “locate requests” to all utilities involved, and they arrange to mark underground facilities with flags and/or paint markings—letting you know where it is not safe to dig.

The Iowa One Call service is absolutely free to the person calling; plus, it is the law!
