Belle Plaine Lands 500000 for Wetland Water Plan
Belle Plaine in Benton County receives 500000 in state grants to rebuild a wetland to capture rain and recharge the aquifer as drought tightens. The project, partly funded by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, aims to improve stormwater quality and create a filtration and storage zone while safeguarding wells. The city seeks additional funding for water treatment upgrades and timelines may stretch to 2026.
