Construction projects

• Survey crews will place colored flags and stakes to mark existing utilities and proposed excavation areas. Please do not remove these flags or stakes.
• Let the contractor know if you have any underground facilities, such as an underground dog fence, satellite dish cables, septic systems or privately installed electric lines. You can provide this information to crews as you see them working in your neighborhood.
• Whenever possible, crews will make every attempt to contact a homeowner to discuss emergency repairs that may disrupt their property along with the plan to restore the disturbed area.
• Start and track your construction projects online. Visit our new construction webpage to begin.

• Both Alliant Energy crews and contractors work on our electric and natural gas systems. 
• If you’re unable to speak with someone on-site, please get in touch with us using this online form. We often post signs in work areas or send mailings that include a local number to call as well.
• There will be large trucks and digging equipment in the area. During excavation, we will make every effort to minimize the impact and disturbance.
• To prevent sewer damages, crews may need access to your sewer line before, during or after the installation process. This helps us prevent cross bores within the sewer line and is required by our own policies to ensure the safest service possible. This is typically something we can assess from outside your residence. In some instances, we may need to enter your residence to make a determination.
• To track your projects, visit our My Account log in page and select “Track Construction Request” instead of logging in.

• On electric projects: Once new lines are installed, tested, and carrying electricity, the service to your house may need to be reconnected to the new lines, which may cause a short disruption of service.
• On gas projects: Once the new gas lines are installed, tested and carrying gas, the service to your house will need to be connected to that main, which will cause a disruption in service. Upon completion of the work, a contractor will knock on your door and provide you with a few options. If you are not available, a door hanger will be left with these options and a contact phone number.

Option 1: A trained employee enters your residence and relights your appliances.

Option 2: You sign an Appliance Relight Release form and perform that task yourself.

• After the project is complete, restoration crews will begin to perform landscape work, including grading, putting in dirt, planting grass seed and clean-up. 
• Please water the new seed daily to ensure it grows.
• Any straw matting that may have been in place can be carefully removed once the grass is growing well.
• If significant landscaping is necessary, Alliant Energy will contact its landscaping contractor to perform the work.
• The timing of restoration work will depend on appropriate weather conditions. Fall projects could require the restoration work to occur in the following spring. Postponing the work would allow for the best growing season for grass and other plantings.
• We often post signs in work areas or send mailings that include a specific number to call about projects in your neighborhood.
