DNA sets new deadlines for Clarence wastewater upgrades
Iowa regulators require Clarence to study water flow in its aging sewer system within six years and, if needed, plan upgrades to its treatment process by 2028 with completion by 2030. The town's four lagoons release into Mill Creek must be limited, yet high flows from infiltration and illegal connections have caused extra discharges. Officials note progress over 20 years, including crack sealing and sump check efforts, amid potential substantial funding needs.
