Utility work will begin next month in Kalona. Alliant Energy will start a project in September that involves underground boring to replace connections, conduits and electrical work in the city. The DOT required Alliant to receive a permit from the city for the work. The project is expected to affect areas near 8th and 9th Street to 14th Street along Highway 22. There is the possibility that motorists could see traffic reduced to one lane at times while work is being done. Alliant is covering the cost of the renovations.
