Abstract: Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company obviously is a combination utility. We serve several districts in both Iowa and Illinois in some we supply gas only. The company provides electric service to 191,000 customers and has 226,000 gas customers. The Quad City area where I am based is situated on the Mississippi River, where the river runs east and west instead of north and south. (This is quite confusing to strangers in the area.) We are right at the big bend on the east end of Iowa. Gas was first manufactured in Davenport, one of the Quad Cities, in 1855, and natural gas was introduced in 1934, so you see we are an old company. The company serves some 32 communities in the Quad City area alone, and consequently we are faced with a multiplicity of city ordinances. One common rule or request that permeates throughout all these towns and cities is the avoidance of traffic disruptions. Over the years, a number of city ordinances have been established pertaining to traffic flow, barricading, permitting procedures, pavement restoration, and the like as a result of utility and other street excavations. Because of our volume of pavement restoration work, we have been required to do our own backfilling and patching.
