811 Day

August 11th is a day to help raise awareness to contact Iowa One Call before digging. Any type of project that involves digging requires contacting Iowa One Call - this applies to both residential and commercial projects. It is free and it’s the law.

There are 3 easy ways to contact them: simply dial 811, dial (800) 292-8989, or file an electronic
ticket at the Iowa One Call website.

As SMU has done in the past, we said thanks again this year to some crews in our community for calling or clicking before digging.
