West Branch Barn Fire Believed Arson Suspected
Fire officials think arson caused a West Branch barn blaze Sunday morning eight miles east of Iowa City on Highway 6. The two story 40 by 80 foot structure, built in 1941 by George Petsel and owned by his son Bob, was empty with no electrical source. About 30 firefighters from five departments battled the fire for roughly three hours, with an estimated damage of 25000 dollars.

Cedar Rapids may become regional water supplier
Cedar Rapids with ample water capacity may extend supply to Robins Atkins Swisher Palo and Covington as towns seek affordable water. City officials say current plants can treat up to 65 mgd with two plants and 53 wells and could expand to 80 mgd with a new plant. Additional capacity could push source water to 100 150 or 200 mgd in extreme dry periods. Distribution costs and who pays remain unresolved for outside-city customers paying higher rates.
