Iowa American Water Highlights Work Zone Awareness Week
Stay alert while crew members are at work
DAVENPORT, IA. – APRIL 21, 2025 – Iowa American Water is highlighting National Work Zone Awareness Week, an annual campaign that promotes safe driving in highway work zones from April 21-25, 2025.
“At Iowa American Water, our teams and contractors work daily in and around roadways to help ensure reliable service for our customers,” said Brad Nielsen, President, Iowa American Water. “While safety remains a priority, work zones can pose serious risks. National Work Zone Awareness Week emphasizes our shared responsibility to keep roads and workers safe. When you slow down and stay alert in work zones, you're helping protect lives, including your own.”
Iowa American Water invests about $40 million into its infrastructure annually and has several crews working around its service areas on any given day. Whether it’s water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades or routine maintenance and cleaning, Iowa American Water’s top priority is keeping crews and motorists safe.
Iowa American Water provides these simple rules when driving through work zones:
- Stay alert: Pay attention to flaggers, workers, and equipment, and be prepared for sudden stops.
- Slow down: Follow all posted speed limits and adjust for traffic flows and weather conditions.
- Give yourself some space: Leave at least a minimum of three seconds of braking room between other vehicles.
