  1. If you live in rural Mahaska County and your rural house number sign or road name sign is damaged or missing, report it to the dispatch center at (641) 673-0347. Keep your house marker sign in good repair, straight, and clear of debris, vegetation and snow.
     
  2. Contact Iowa One Call 48 hours before you dig, (800) 292-8989. A careless construction accident has taken 911 down more than once.
