When there’s a snowstorm, how do cities decide which streets to plow first? Curious Iowa looks at how two Eastern Iowa cities of different sizes — Cedar Rapids and Central City — approach snow removal.
Dubuque, Muscatine, Tama, Sioux City and a mobile home park near Muscatine will likely need to drill deeper wells or install treatment equipment to remove PFAS, a state official said.
Sampling in February by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources found the contaminated well had perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
Central City has concentrations of toxic chemicals in its drinking water that exceed safety thresholds in other states and that are the highest so far identified by a new Iowa surveillance program.
Tests of the water have triggered a more thorough investigation by the Iowa Department of Natural Resource's contaminated sites team.
