 August 11 is 8-1-1 on the calendar so it’s a natural reminder for both
professionals and homeowners to always contact 811 at least before
digging to identify the approximate location of underground utility
lines. With more residents completing digging projects during the summer
season, it’s crucial that the safe digging message is front and center. Hitting
an underground utility line while digging can disrupt critical service
to entire neighborhoods, cause dangerous gas leaks, result in fines and
repair costs and even cause serious injury or death. A good source of
information about 811 to gather information for social posts or
information for employees is Common Ground Iowa https://commongroundiowa.com/resources/. Remind homeowners, Professionals and customers that: - Every digging project requires contacting 811.
- Contacting
811 prior to digging notifies utility companies of the intent to dig
and gives representatives time to mark the appropriate lines.
- Digging
without contacting 811 first to have underground lines marked remains
as the number one cause of damages to buried utilities, year after year.

After reviewing survey responses, the Iowa Energy Office is moving
forward with energy efficiency as the focus for the EECBG program. It
was the top interest area with 60% of respondents giving it a one or two
ranking among six topic areas. Pending federal review
of our submitted strategy, we anticipate a Community Fund of $1.2
million dollars to open in October 2023 on IowaGrants.gov. Federal
requirements including National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Build
America Buy America, Justice40 Initiative, 2 CFR 200 and Davis-Bacon Act
apply to awardees. More information will be released once federal
approval of Iowa’s EECBG application is obtained, likely in September. Iowa
EECBG Community Fund will competitively fund selected local government
energy efficiency projects in cities and counties not eligible for
Formula EECBG allocations. Energy efficiency projects could include
building energy assessment and energy efficiency upgrades, replacement
of stoplights and streetlights with high-efficiency bulbs, and more
activities outlined in Blueprint 2A. Projects benefiting disadvantaged communities
will be prioritized. There will be no required local cost share
although cost share will be a consideration in application scoring.
Award sizes are currently planned to be between $50,000 and $300,000. Local governments are encouraged to begin identifying and planning projects. Please reach out to Jeff Geerts or Abbie Christophersen at the Iowa Economic Development Authority for additional information.
