Whether you own your home or rent it, or are contracting an excavating job, you need to call before you dig. There is no charge for getting underground lines located. Iowa Legislature has enacted statewide legislation, “Underground Facilities Information”, Chapter 480 of the 21995 Code of Iowa, which went into effect January 1, 1993, making it a state law to call before you dig.
With one easy phone call the underground electric, sewer, water, gas, telephone and cable television lines will be located before digging. Please call at least 48 hours in advance of any digging because no area will be guaranteed a clearance without at least a 48-hour notice. If you fail to call before you dig, total liability for any damages will be yours.
If necessary, a job site meeting can be arranged for locating and coding the work area. Any digging or excavating work that exposes gas lines must be inspected and tested by the Hawarden Municipal Utilities, according to federal regulations. Again, there is no charge for locating underground lines. It is worth your time to call and protect yourself against potential repair costs. So call 551-2565 and just give an accurate address, a brief description of the intended work and the general area on the property that you will be working. Or you may call Iowa One Call direct at 1-800-292-8989. Remember to call at least 48 business hours before any excavation or digging work is scheduled to begin.
This summer the Hawarden Ambulance will be having CPR classes that can fit just about anyone. We will have BLS Healthcare Provider courses July 22nd and August 5th with times to be announced at a later date. Healthcare professionals such as EMTs, nurses and doctors usually take this class.
A class that is more geared towards the general public is the Heartsaver AED class. This class will show you how to perform layperson CPR for infants, children and adults. You will also learn how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). Since public access AEDs are becoming more and more popular these days this would be a good skill for everyone to learn. The date for this class will be August 19th with time to be announced at a later date. Additional dates will be added if enough people are interested.
If you are interested in any one of these classes being offered contact Jerry Wilson at 551-4415. These classes will be free. However, if you want the certification card the cost will be $2.
