Adrian man takes over as county's Drainage Systems Coordinator 6:00 am, Jan. 13, 2021 × Zach Reker transitioned from his role with Nobles County Public Works to the county's new Drainage Systems Coordinator in late November. He is based at the county's public works facility in Worthington. (Julie Buntjer/The Globe) WORTHINGTON — Six weeks into his new role as Nobles County’s drainage systems coordinator, Zach Reker is grateful for the unseasonable weather that has kept him outdoors rather than at his desk most days. The mild temperatures have made it possible for the county to continue to work on ditch projects — including the replacement of 1,000 feet of 10-inch tile on Judicial Ditch 12 in Bloom Township, cleaning out 2.5-foot-deep sediment from a 2,000-foot stretch of the open Judicial Ditch 8 in Elk Township and completing a clean-out of County Ditch 4 near the Herlein-Boote Slough in Worthington Township.
