    Underground Utilities

    Each unit is individually metered too for electric. From the Gas standpoint-MidAm will handle everything before the building meter.

    Underground Utilities

    This is 6-unit complex that we are rebuilding the decks/stairs on, but MidAm told me that I own the electrical and they own the gas. MidAm did tell me it varies from property-to-property in the state of Iowa. In all the states we do work in, I usually see what you described and it doesn't matter...

I was told by MidAm that owner owns everything underground that is electric to the transformer and...

    Worst city in Iowa?

    I lived in the QC for a portion of my life and Davenport is a shell of what it use to be. Comparing it to Detroit is stretch, but Kimberly/Brady are a fraction of what they use to be. Since I have lived in Waterloo and Davenport both towns have lost to their next door neighbor Bettendorf/CF...

    Worst city in Iowa?

    My last year in the CV was 2006 and Waterloo was rough at the time. A lot of gang, drug issues and poor performing schools (East High was drop out U/highest drop out rate and it wasn't even close). Way back in the day CF was just UNI and the hill. CF seized their opportunity the last 25 years...

    Maybe-left many years ago when CF was about the same size as East side of Waterloo. With all the empty buildings downtown, Crossroads a ghost town, jobs disappearing, population falling off, airport in shambles, lack of development in numerous areas of town, it's really showing that neglect...

    It doesn't but it doesn't hurt (OU, OSU, Texas, Ohio State have all benefited and had success from very rich individuals). Having JP has saved us.

    Worst city in Iowa?

    As someone who was born in Waterloo in the 80's/90's its a dump today(hurts me to say that). Cedar Falls has completely dominated the area and there is numerous reasons why. City of Waterloo can't get out of it's own way. The permitting/zoning policies are so dated that they continue to cripple...
