IAMU has a great group of people who volunteer on various IAMU committees.  All of our committees play a vital role in planning  and assisting during workshops.

The Electric Safety & Training Committee has three members who will be retiring this year. During their February meeting, certificates honoring them were presented.  The certificates read:  “This certificate of appreciation is hereby awarded in recognition of your generous participation and contribution to the IAMU Electric Safety & Training Committee, which will have an enduring and positive effect on the safety and health of municipal electric utility employees”. 

Registration is now open for the 2016 CCR Workshops.

Do you need help completing the Consumer Confidence Report? If so, this workshop is for you! The goal of the workshop is for each participant to leave with an understanding, or refresher, of what the CCR is and why it needs to be completed.

Would-be crooks took an old scam to a new level in Cedar Falls this month. The targeted business turned the fraudsters away empty handed, and Cedar Falls Police urge businesses and households to be alert for similar scams.

The scam works like this. A business or household gets a call, often on a Saturday, from someone who falsely claims to be from the local electric utility. The caller threatens to turn off the power unless the customer pays his overdue bill immediately, and pressures the customer to give up credit card or checking account information.

Earlier this month, two men trying to pull this scam first called then showed up in person at a local business.

IAMU's Electric Services Department has two new additions, Dan Llewellyn and Meredith Hibbs.

Alternate entry procedures allow for employee entry into confined spaces so long as there are no safety (physical) hazards AND the atmospheric hazards can be controlled by continuous forced air ventilation. Under this type of entry, no permit, attendant or rescue provisions are required; however, a verification that the space is safe for entry and that pre-entry measures have been taken must be provided.

Presentations from the 2016 Business & Finance Conference are available online.
