Iowa City halts Hawkeye CableVision tower build after mislocated reception tower
Iowa City officials ordered a halt to Hawkeye CableVision reception tower construction when inspectors found the 70 foot tower was placed 100 to 120 feet south of the approved site. The error arose from a rough map and the land being leased, with no preconstruction survey. If not relocated the tower may have to be torn down and rebuilt at the correct location.
