The Iowa One Call center partnered with Northern Natural Gas to develop this damage prevention video. The incident in review took place near Hinton, Iowa in April, 2012. Although the events took place in Iowa, viewers from every state can learn valuable lessons from this video. Northern Natural Gas employees and the aerial patrol pilot discuss their observations and reactions to the event.
The video stresses the importance of protecting what really matters such as family, the community and the land by simply calling 811 before every digging project. Agricultural related excavations such as drain tiling, chisel plowing, sub-soiling, setting posts, soil sampling, drilling wells, terracing and waterway projects all require a call to your state’s one call center before excavation begins.
