City to Advertise Bids for Drainage Tile to Des Moines River
At a Monday city meeting the clerk was authorized to advertise for bids to construct a twenty one inch tile from the city well to the Des Moines river, a distance of miles. The project aims to drain water near the well and through the septic tank area, with estimated cost from six to eight thousand dollars. The work is deemed essential to protect the city’s hearth and to remove water from the low ground along the river. Exemptions across farms from the well to the river were obtained earlier, and preliminaries have been in place for some time. There is a fall of at least five and a half feet from the well to the river standard level.
