We're letting underground utilities flaunt their signature color in this September Steal the Look Series.

Each utility will be represented in a post, and each will have its own look inspired by the APWA color code. We're starting strong with bold in blue for potable water. đź’™

Which utility fit are you looking forward to most?

Every good adventure has a guide.

When you're digging, utility flags and paint help lead the way by showing the approximate location of underground utilities.

Before you break ground, take a moment to closely observe the markings left by utility locators—they're there to help you avoid costly and dangerous utility strikes.

The safest path is the one that's clearly marked.

Law dictates that any contractor digging on private property must get the underground utilities marked before digging. Visit our website at iowaonecall.com to request that underground utilities be marked.

The service is free, and local contractors should know the standard notice required to file before digging.

How your lawn could look without a dig ticket is heartbreaking.

After the fight for equal voting rights in the early 19th century, the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, giving women the right to vote. This revolutionary decision is recognized on August 26— Women's Equality Day.

Today women are represented in the military, in space, as CEOs and they hold pivotal roles in the damage prevention industry. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Women's Equality Day:

The fair always brings out the best of Iowa, and this year was as good as any.

Gabby the Groundhog made her rounds, our first ever scavenger hunt sent a few lucky winners home with a Yeti water bottle, and our friends at KCCI made the MidAmerican Energy Stage a highlight once again.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by! We already can’t wait for next year!
